Case Study: Tropical Cheese achieves 21% fewer routes, 17% less mileage and 11.5% higher profit-per-route with Omnitracs Roadnet and Territory Planner

Tropical Cheese Improves Routing Efficiency and Profitability

Tropical Cheese Industries, a foodservice distributor in Perth Amboy, NJ serving the Metro New York area, faced a complex and time-consuming delivery challenge: 47 manually planned routes split between two delivery companies that required two people six hours a day to route, contributing to only about 85% delivery fulfillment.

After implementing Omnitracs Roadnet and Territory Planner to automate territory and route planning, Tropical Cheese cut routes from 47 to 37 (21%), reduced mileage by 17%, raised delivery fulfillment to 97%, increased profit per route by 11.5%, and trimmed routing labor to one person for 1.5 hours a day—freeing time for analysis and further improvements.
