Case Study: Tesco improves home delivery planning with CACI mapping and traffic data

Tesco routes 2,000 vans with CACI's digital map data

Tesco, a major UK retailer, approached CACI for support in enhancing its home delivery service. The challenge was to integrate advanced digital map data into a new routing and scheduling system for its fleet of over 2,000 vans, requiring detailed street-level information and traffic patterns to optimize delivery routes throughout the day and week.

CACI supplied Tesco with premium vector map data and its Traffic Patterns dataset, which provided essential routing information and average traffic speeds differentiated by time. This solution enabled Tesco.com to plan more efficient delivery routes, directly supporting its £2+ billion home shopping business. According to a Tesco manager, CACI was well-equipped to provide the necessary data in an appropriate format, proving responsive and helpful in meeting their requirements.
