Case Study: a global FMCG company improves delivery efficiency with Persistent Systems’ Dista platform

A global FMCG automates scheduling & routing and improves operational efficiency with Dista, a location intelligence platform

Persistent Systems helped a global FMCG company that operates in more than 80 countries and has 10+ warehouses in India address a time-consuming, manual, and sub-optimal delivery scheduling process. The company’s operations team had to plan vehicle runs to multiple distribution centers with many constraints, while fixed routes and manual scheduling limited delivery efficiency.

Using Persistent Systems’ Dista location intelligence platform, specifically Dista Schedule, the company automated delivery scheduling and route planning across its warehouses and DCs. The solution handled more than 30 constraints and was refined with field-run learnings, leading to a vehicle fill ratio increase to 90% from 70%, nearly 20% fewer vehicles, and 7 warehouses already onboarded to the platform.
