A Paragon of savings
Home delivery specialist saves a packet with new software
Hermes, one of Europe’s leading home delivery specialists claims to have saved £300,000 (US$450,000) in transport costs after switching to routing and scheduling software from Paragon.
Paragon Multi Depot automates the planning of deliveries from 14 of its 18 depots to final-mile couriers throughout the UK. The saving is expected to increase following the roll-out of the software at the remaining hubs.
Hermes reviews its delivery routes every six months to ensure that each depot is running at peak efficiency. This is important as couriers can change, leave the job or move areas.
