Case Study: Greggs achieves 30%+ vehicle utilization and major mileage, fuel and CO2 savings with Aptean Routing & Scheduling (Paragon Edition)

Greggs uses Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition to support business transformation

Greggs, the UK’s leading bakery food-on-the-go retailer with over 1,800 shops serving more than six million customers a week, embarked on a £100 million, five-year program to centralize and modernize its supply chain. Managing a fleet of 250 temperature-controlled vehicles delivering 3,500 store drops daily, the business faced rising customer expectations and increasingly complex distribution planning that was constraining efficiency and service.

Greggs implemented Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition to centralize and optimize planning, with a dedicated team regularly reviewing routes and schedules. The solution delivered rapid gains: vehicle utilization improved by more than 30%, almost 900 miles a week were removed from local plans, fuel use fell by over 2%, and CO2 emissions dropped by about 35 tons per year — including resizing a Scottish fleet from 35 to 24 vehicles following depot consolidation.
