A Descartes Case Study
TTC, a transport company specializing in road transport across the Benelux region, needed a better way to plan daily deliveries for about 5,000 parcels going to 800 addresses in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Holland. Its planners faced manual, time-consuming scheduling, inaccurate addresses for construction sites, changing order volumes, and the need to respect specific routes and customer requirements.
Descartes provided TTC with its route planning solution, an interactive planning and optimization tool that automated multi-phase route planning and capacity checks. With Descartes, TTC reduced planning time, cut paperwork and staffing needs for planning, avoided overloaded vehicles, lowered mileage and overtime, and improved service delivery by generating more efficient, profitable routes.
