Case Study: Marigolds & Onions achieves on-time, cost-saving deliveries with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

Marigolds & Onions Keeps Time-Critical Deliveries On Schedule with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

Marigolds & Onions is a Toronto-based catering and events company serving corporate, social and major sporting events. Rapid growth exposed limitations in its manual planning process—drivers had to meet tight 15-minute delivery windows across a dense urban area, with limited visibility and control over transportation operations.

The company implemented Aptean Routing & Scheduling (Paragon Edition) with Street Level Mapping and hands-on support from Aptean, which automated routing, ensured on-time deliveries and simplified planning. Results included 7–9% fuel savings ($3k–$5k/month), a 20% reduction in delivery labor (~$15k/month), 50% fewer third‑party couriers, improved delivery/collection visibility and reliable performance for high-profile events like the Rogers Cup.
