Case Study: Tesco reduces emissions with Aptean Routing Software

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Software Helps Tesco Cut Carbon Emissions

Tesco, one of the world’s leading retailers, needed to improve transportation efficiency while cutting the carbon footprint of its distribution fleet. With Aptean’s routing and scheduling software, Tesco faced the challenge of handling more than 4,000 daily deliveries across 700+ stores, 1,400 trucks, and 26 distribution centers while working toward ambitious CO2 reduction targets.

Aptean implemented strategic planning and route optimization capabilities to balance warehouse capacity, improve store-to-DC allocation, and optimize delivery schedules. The result was a more efficient fleet operation with a 12% improvement in empty running, 150,000 miles saved each week, better backhauling and fleet utilization, and thousands of tons of CO2 saved annually.
