Case Study: BSW Timber achieves dramatic route-planning time savings with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

BSW Timber Improves Route Planning Time Dramatically with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

BSW Timber, the U.K.’s largest timber company, operates a complex network of seven sawmills, multiple distribution centres and a third‑party fleet of over 200 trucks. Routing and planning were decentralised and manual, with no central visibility or ability to direct third‑party drivers, resulting in inefficient routes, duplicated effort and a heavy administrative burden.

By implementing Aptean Routing & Scheduling (Paragon Edition) BSW centralized planning and gained full visibility across depots, including the ability to plan successive loads for third‑party haulage. The solution dramatically reduced route‑planning time and administrative workload, improved resource utilisation and delivery efficiency, and allowed the team to focus on customer satisfaction and ongoing operational improvements.
