Case Study: American Newspaper Solutions achieves instant, accurate route optimization and paperless delivery with Route4Me

Route4Me Gives Modern Print Media Distribution Company a Technological Leg-Up

American Newspaper Solutions (ANS), a print media distribution company headquartered in Orion, Michigan, with a busy Wichita, Kansas division overseen by Amber Saujon, faced a routing challenge: up to 400 variable stops per day with frequent last‑minute changes and previous GPS software that didn’t meet their needs. Saujon turned to Route4Me and, after about two and a half months of use, gained immediate route optimization and superior address location compared with tools they had tried before.

Using Route4Me, Saujon simply loads addresses and shares route links with drivers—no printing or paper waste—and creates optimized routes in under an hour. Route4Me’s mobile apps and optimization platform provide turn‑by‑turn directions, real‑time synchronization and visual route confirmation, which improved client relations (it allowed ANS to prove a client’s coverage concern), delivered immediate optimized routes, and cut planning time and paper usage.
