Case Study: Messer improves tanker truck delivery efficiency with Nomadia TourSolver

Messer boosts on-time delivery 23% with GeoConcept

Messer, a leading global industrial gases manufacturer, faced significant challenges in optimizing its tanker truck delivery operations in China. Manual route planning was time-consuming, forcing an early order cutoff, and could not account for critical variables like vehicle load and weather conditions. To address this, Messer partnered with vendor GeoConcept and implemented its Nomadia TourSolver route optimization solution.

The GeoConcept solution automated planning using vector maps and a high-performance engine that calculated routes based on load and weather. This allowed schedules for 50 vehicles and 200 customers to be calculated in under 10 minutes. The results were transformative: Messer gained an hour of daily order acceptance, increased vehicle utilization by 12%, reduced kilometers traveled by 10%, and improved its on-time delivery rate by 23%.
