Case Study: Plumbing World speeds delivery planning and expands its fleet with Maxoptra

Plumbing World Plans Expansion with Maxoptra Routing and Scheduling

Plumbing World, a national distributor of plumbing, bathroom, heating and plastic products, needed a better way to manage deliveries as its business grew. Previously, the company manually planned local deliveries and relied on outside couriers for other consignments, which was time consuming and costly for large or fragile goods. It chose Maxoptra’s cloud-based routing and scheduling solution to support expansion of its delivery operation.

With Maxoptra, Plumbing World automated route planning and scheduling and integrated the system with its Sage enterprise software to streamline order, delivery and invoice data transfer. The result was a major reduction in planning time from 3–4 hours per day to just minutes, while also improving workflow, transparency, and laying the groundwork for future features such as automatic ETA notifications and electronic PODs.
