Case Study: Wren Kitchens achieves significant cost savings and 60% faster deliveries with Aptean’s TMS

Wren Kitchens Drives Significant Cost Savings with Aptean’s TMS Software Suite

Wren Kitchens, founded in 2009, is a leading kitchen retailer with 108 showrooms, a fleet of over 250 trucks delivering more than 3,000 kitchens per week, and a workforce of 7,500 (including 800 transport staff across eight sites). Rapid growth exposed the limits of manual planning tools like Google Maps and spreadsheets, leaving the business without scalable capacity management, real-time visibility or the routing and customer-delivery capabilities needed to support expansion and better service.

Wren implemented Aptean’s TMS suite—including Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition, Home Delivery, Proof of Delivery and Route Execution—to gain advanced route optimization, resource-capacity control and real-time tracking. The result was up to 15% fewer miles, a 60% improvement in delivery lead time, vehicle fill rising from 92% to 94% (saving over 360,000 kg CO2 in year one), reduced costs and emissions, eliminated paperwork for drivers, and a scalable platform that supports growth across the UK and US.
