Logistics and Distribution

In the logistics and distribution sector, on-time delivery, vehicle efficiency, and customer satisfaction are intrinsically linked. Operations managed without a digital planning and tracking infrastructure create both cost and quality issues. In this case study, we describe the digital transformation process of a regional distribution company.

Client Profile

A logistics company providing regional distribution and warehousing services. A fleet of 40 vehicles, 300+ daily delivery points.

Challenges Faced

• Lack of Route Planning: Vehicle routes were left to driver experience. Multiple vehicles could go to the same area, leading to fuel and time waste.
• Difficulty in Delivery Tracking: Whether an order had been delivered or not was only learned when the driver returned to the warehouse.
• Warehouse Inefficiency: Shelf organization and product placement were not standardized, extending picking times.

Our Solution Approach: Logistics Management and Route Optimization

• Smart Route Planning: Automatic route generation based on address, load, and time window. Optimization according to vehicle capacity and regional density.
• Real-time Delivery Tracking: Delivery confirmation, photo-based delivery receipt, and GPS location recording via mobile application.
• Warehouse Management System: Barcode-based shelf management, FIFO/FEFO compliant outbound sequencing.

Results We Achieved

• Daily deliveries per vehicle increased by 25%
• Fuel costs decreased by 20%
• Delivery discrepancies decreased by 90%
• Warehouse picking time shortened by 35%
