Asda improves with Paragon logistics system 13 September 2012

As it comes to the end of a two-year project to transform its retail distribution operation with logistics and route optimisation software, Asda is reporting positive results with the Paragon Software Systems' package.

Asda has been implementing a regional distribution structure, using the Paragon TTS transport optimisation system, which also provides real-time vehicle tracking.

With the software, the supermarket chain says it has been able to improve delivery services to its stores, make better use of driver resources, ensure route compliance and reduce operational costs.

"Asda transport has been completely transformed to provide new efficiencies across the board," confirms says Chris Hall, national transport manager at Asda.

"Paragon TTS has enabled this and is providing significant improvements in the way we plan and manage our resources and in how we plan more than 18,000 store deliveries a week using our 900 strong fleet," he continues.

"The results of this business change are on-time delivery improvements to the stores, optimisation of our driver and vehicle resources and greater route compliance, which is also reducing mileage, fuel costs and emissions," adds Hall.
