Case Study: The Opportunity Council achieves county‑wide, efficient volunteer food deliveries with Route4Me

The Opportunity Council offers last mile home delivery services

The Opportunity Council provides last‑mile home delivery services for education, nutrition, and direct assistance. When the pandemic expanded their distribution territory county‑wide, the Council lacked route optimization experience and struggled to coordinate a volunteer fleet of personal cars with different carrying and loading capacities. To address this, they adopted Route4Me’s Route Optimization Software Solutions.

Route4Me’s intuitive platform was implemented quickly, enabling the Council to plan routes that accounted for vehicle availability and per‑car capacity, limit pieces per volunteer, and support non‑professional drivers with turn‑by‑turn directions. The result: volunteers saved time and money, productivity increased, and the Opportunity Council has delivered almost a half‑million pounds of food across the county using Route4Me’s routing and optimization capabilities.
