Case Study: Lilley’s Cider achieves paperless delivery efficiency with Podfather software

Lilley’s Cider streamlines 3,000+ weekly deliveries with PODFather

Lilley's Cider, a family-run drinks manufacturer and distributor, faced challenges with its manual, paper-based delivery planning. Using paper maps and spreadsheets was time-consuming and inefficient for their operation, which makes thousands of weekly deliveries to over 3,000 pubs and shops across the UK. This outdated process negatively impacted the customer experience and administrative efficiency. To address this, they selected Podfather's logistics planning, route optimization, and electronic proof of delivery software.

Podfather provided a user-friendly solution that integrated with Lilley's existing business tools. The software automates route planning and optimization based on locations and customer requirements, and provides drivers with all necessary paperwork on mobile devices. This implementation gives management total visibility of deliveries and instantly flags any issues. By using Podfather, Lilley's Cider expects to dramatically reduce the time and resource required for route planning, cut unnecessary mileage and paperwork, manage costs more effectively, and improve its environmental credentials.
