Case Study: JayWay Distribution Ltd. achieves sustained profitability and operational efficiency with Food Decision Software

Effective Route Planning Helps Maintain Profitability

JayWay Distribution Ltd., a refrigerated dairy distributor serving more than 400 independent customers and 86–90 chain stores, faced the classic dairy challenge of high volume and low margins after shifting focus from ice cream to milk. To maintain profitability and control costs in this competitive market, JayWay relied on Food Decision Software’s food-specific distribution system, using WinFDS (version 6.0, upgraded in November 2009) to support its proactive operations.

Food Decision Software’s WinFDS lets JayWay cost out daily route profits, coordinate batch picking, accurately measure milk to reduce waste, and run multi-period sales and stock status reports to cut days in inventory. These capabilities helped JayWay maximize route efficiency, minimize avoidable expenses, and preserve customer contracts while continuing to serve a large customer base, demonstrating tangible operational control and cost savings through Food Decision Software’s solution.
