Case Study: Anheuser-Busch achieves an 80% reduction in late deliveries with Wise Systems

How Wise Systems helped AnheuserBusch reduce late deliveries by 80%

Anheuser-Busch faced growing delivery volumes and an 850-truck network that it needed to speed up without spending years and millions to build proprietary software. To solve this, the brewer turned to Wise Systems and its app-based, machine-learning delivery routing platform as a plug-and-play alternative to manual planning.

Wise Systems replaced pen-and-paper routing with its driver app that uses historical data, real-time traffic and other inputs to optimize stop order and instructions; the rollout across Anheuser-Busch’s network cut route distance and time, drove a 6% year-over-year fuel cost reduction (2017–2018) and reduced late deliveries by 80%, allowing Anheuser-Busch to refocus on customer service.
