Case Study: The Co-operative Food achieves increased fleet visibility, productivity and on-time deliveries with Microlise

The Co-operative Group selects Microlise as their Transport Management Solutions Provider

The Co-operative Food, part of The Co-operative Group, operates over 1,000 vehicles and makes around 1,300 trips per day to 3,300 retail outlets. Seeking to streamline transport and delivery operations, improve customer service and eliminate paperwork, The Co-operative Food selected Microlise as their Transport Management Solutions Provider and deployed Microlise modules including the Transport Management Centre, Proof of Delivery, Journey Planner and vehicle/trailer tracking.

Microlise implemented an integrated solution that imports planned routes, tracks vehicle and trailer execution, provides real‑time POD uploads, manages exceptions and monitors temperature and door events. The Microlise system increased fleet visibility, improved route adherence and utilisation, removed driver paperwork, enabled data-driven debriefs and reporting across ~1,300 daily trips and 3,000+ deliveries, and delivered measurable reductions in administration with improved in‑full, on‑time service to stores.
