Case Study: New Zealand Media and Entertainment cuts delivery costs and creates new revenue with RouteSmart Technologies

New Zealand Media and Entertainment cuts delivery distance 15% with RouteSmart Technologies

New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) faced the challenge of managing the high costs of its extensive newspaper distribution network across New Zealand. Relying on numerous delivery contractors, NZME had limited ability to verify the efficiency of routes or the accuracy of cost submissions. They turned to RouteSmart Technologies and its RouteSmart for ArcGIS solution to gain control over their logistics and transform this cost center.

By implementing RouteSmart's route optimization software, NZME successfully restructured and resequenced its delivery routes. This initiative resulted in a 15% reduction in distance traveled and a 17% reduction in delivery hours, leading to significant cost savings. Furthermore, RouteSmart enabled NZME to centralize distribution and offer its services to third-party publications, creating a new and substantial revenue stream for the company.
