Case Study: Messer improves delivery efficiency with GeoConcept TourSolver

Messer - Customer Case Study

Messer, a leading manufacturer and supplier of industrial gases, was facing significant logistical challenges in manually planning delivery routes for its liquid gas tank trucks. This complex process forced schedulers to stop accepting new orders each afternoon and spend hours creating plans, which often resulted in inefficient vehicle use and unreliable on-time delivery. To address this, they partnered with vendor GeoConcept for a solution.

GeoConcept implemented its TourSolver optimization software, which uses detailed vector maps and an advanced algorithm to automatically calculate the most efficient routes based on road types and weather conditions. This solution delivered substantial results for Messer, including an extra hour each day to accept new orders, a 12% increase in vehicle utilization, a 10% reduction in kilometers traveled, and a 23% improvement in compliance with delivery deadlines.
