Case Study: Franprix automates 250 daily replenishment routes with Nomadia TourSolver

Franprix automates 250 daily replenishment routes with GeoConcept, validating 95% without changes

Franprix, a convenience store chain in the Greater Paris area, faced a challenge in automating its complex delivery logistics. The company relied entirely on the personal knowledge of its route planners to manually schedule 250 daily routes for 120 drivers delivering to 350 stores, a process that was fragile, non-scalable, and led to non-optimized vehicle loads. To replace this human expertise with a reliable tool, Franprix turned to vendor GeoConcept and its Nomadia TourSolver route optimization solution.

The solution implemented by GeoConcept automated the calculation of optimal routes by integrating store constraints, distances, and precise order volumes. This resulted in a 95% automation rate where most routes were validated without human modification. The measurable impacts included significant mileage optimization, improved vehicle fill rates, a reduction in transport costs, and enhanced reliability in meeting store delivery time slots.
