Case Study: Aceitera el Real boosts route efficiency with Descartes Route Planner

Aceitera el Real Driving Efficiency with Descartes Route Planner™ RS

Aceitera el Real, a global producer and distributor of vegetable oils, fats, and related derivatives in Nicaragua, was struggling with a manual routing process that consumed time, limited visibility, and made it difficult to manage 45 delivery vehicles across multiple territories. To improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen customer service, the company turned to Descartes Route Planner™ RS and Descartes Sales & Territory Planner.

With Descartes, Aceitera el Real automated route and territory planning using optimization and real-time visibility tools. The results included an 8% reduction in routes, a 10% increase in stops per route, a 7% decrease in distance traveled, and an 11% drop in operating expenses, while also reducing planning man-hours, shrinking the fleet, and improving service responsiveness.
