Testimonials

What Paragon's clients say...

Raleigh Industries Ltd - Steve Wigley, Distribution Centre Manager

"Paragon was the only system that came up with more efficient routes than our manual ones."

Argos Direct - Ian Anderson

"Results have been impressive, with benefits in reduced fuel costs and greater delivery accuracy vindicating our decision to go the Paragon route."

Ryder BrandsMart - Chris Kean

"We get excellent support from the Paragon team when we need it - they reacted very quickly to get the system back up and running after we'd suffered computer failure and data loss following severe weather conditions."

Progistix-Solutions Ltd - Ann Nelson

"Once we saw the quality of the results and experienced their professional support, we knew Paragon was the right company to partner with."

TNT Logistics, Akzo Nobel - Sean Walters

"As a software provider, Paragon has a ‘can do’ attitude. This implementation also proves that the software itself can do what is required to optimise performance within the framework of the Working Time Directive."

Hammonds Furniture - Roger Brooks

"We are seeing real benefits from planning our whole fleet as a single combined resource. Paragon gives us efficient routes and trip combinations which enables us to maximise the utilisation of our fleet every day, and there is no way we could revert to manual planning."

Parcelforce Worldwide - Eddie McBride

"Improving driver productivity by 20% has enabled us to reduce both the number of drivers and the number of vehicles we need to use to achieve the same, if not higher, levels of service."

Seven Seas Worldwide - Jon Mitchell

"I would heartily recommend Paragon to anyone that isn't in competition with us."

T.Quality - Eric Scott

"We were impressed by Paragon's ease of use, speed of planning, flexibility and report generation facilities."

Instarmac - Graham Stafford

"One of Paragon's key strengths is the focus and flexibility of its support team, which has worked tirelessly with us to make sure the solution works as effectively as possible for our particular operation."

Alstons Cabinets - Trevor Daldry, Transport Manager

"Paragon has revolutionised our routing and scheduling operation and we couldn't envisage working without it. In particular, making changes to the transport plan is now so much easier. No longer does one person have to remember all the road restrictions and shop opening times - the system takes these constraints into account and automatically updates the whole schedule."

PMS International - Neil Beverley

"Running Paragon in conjunction with Navman’s Online AVL tracking service is saving us a lot of planning and administration time and ensuring that all our vans are used efficiently."

Nightfreight - Roger Goodger

"Paragon’s proven strategic capabilities made it the obvious choice for our business."

Royal Mail Group - Bill Haken, Systems Manager

"We chose Paragon not only because the software has the flexibility to handle the more challenging aspects of our parcels, mail and cash handling operations, but also because it was clear that they have the resources to support us properly and that as an independent supplier focusing all their resources into their routing and scheduling solutions, they can be relied upon to be there in the future."

John Lewis - Vince O'Sullivan, Transport Planning & Distribution Manager

"Our shops now know what they are getting when and that goods will arrive when they're told they will. Significantly for the company, our implementation of Paragon has also meant that at a time when business has grown by 3% we've actually cut total loads by 5% - an overall efficiency gain of 8%."

Corus - Richard Marchant, Distribution Centre Manager

"We now have visibility of spare capacity and are able to plan the picking up of in-feed loads from mills, docks and railheads which generates extra revenue for only marginal additional cost."

Tesco Hungary - Szabolcs Gaál

"Being able to get the benefits of Paragon’s routing and scheduling technology in a Citrix environment enables team members to access the software irrespective of where they are located. Working in this way gives us both improved software accessibility and centralised control throughout our national operation."

TRACKER Network (UK) Limited - Denis Murphy, Operations Manager

"The direct link between our service booking system and Paragon means we can avoid offering customer appointments that don't fit efficiently with other visits already committed. Overall, we have achieved a 22% reduction in fuel costs."

Giraud International - Pierre-Alain Mouy

"Paragon will pay for itself in less than a year but its value to us goes beyond this. We now know that the software can help us improve any of our European operations, whether they involve 20 vehicles or 2,000."

Fine Lady Bakeries - Craig Gilkes

"...Paragon instantly identified route improvements that reduced our fleet by more than 10%..."

McLane Company - Jason McCourt

"Ultimately, our choice was an easy one. Paragon was the only routing and scheduling supplier combining all the key attributes we were looking for in a long-term partner: a comprehensive software offering that had the flexibility we were looking for, exclusive sector focus, depth of experience and independence."

Heritage Environmental Services - Alan Palmer

"We chose Paragon ahead of other routing systems on the basis of its ability to handle the complexities of our operation. Paragon's support in helping us set up the system and go live in a matter of weeks has been excellent. As a result, we are now routing our fleet much more efficiently in what is a very complex operation and we are on target for significant vehicle savings in the coming months."

Gist - Lee Costen

"Paragon provides realistic route plans that help us ensure our deliveries arrive at the RDCs on time."

AAH Pharmaceuticals - Steve Anderson, Organisation Manager

"We are already seeing huge cost savings which will only continue to increase as we roll out Paragon-calculated routes at additional sites. In addition, the accuracy of the Paragon routes has resulted in significant improvements in customer service - we are now able to guarantee customer delivery times to the nearest 15 minutes."

United Dairy Farmers - Stephen Cameron, Transport Manager

"As a direct result of Paragon we are now saving time and miles."

Harrods - Ben Reardon

"Paragon enables us to make the best use of our vehicles and drivers, and provide a reliable delivery service to our customers and with the addition of Fleet Controller, seeing the transport plan in action gives us total control of both our transport performance and delivery service."

Comet - Mike Mills, Distribution Manager

"With our previous system we had to spend time re-working the routes. Now at last, with Paragon, we have the confidence to go with the routes produced automatically, which has removed a major headache from our planning operation."

DHL Exel Supply Chain - Richard Phillips, Director of Transport Services, Australia & New Zealand

"We have used Paragon as a tactical planning tool in Europe for many years. Taking it to new geographies has shown the versatility and depth of the software. As DHL Exel Supply Chain grows in Australia we will be using the platform as the backbone of our TMS strategy."

Mastercare - Mike Williams, Regional Manager

"The system's versatility and the team's understanding of our needs has resulted in a software implementation that can handle the complexities of our service management operation whilst still saving us time, money and miles."

Ryder - Darren Wallings, Operations Manager

"Since the system went live we have, so far, seen daily efficiency savings that should enable us to recover our investment in a matter of months."

Sun Mountain Doors - Bret Fossum

"Paragon’s proven experience and capabilities will help us grow efficiently. It is also important to us that we will be dealing not with a re-seller but directly with Paragon’s dedicated support and in-house development teams."

BOCM PAULS - Paul Muxworthy

"Paragon's software links seamlessly with our SAP order management system and ensures maximum utilisation of the fleet."

"Although we only introduced Paragon-produced routes two months ago we are already looking at a transport saving of up to £90,000 each year."

Toyota Materials Handling - Michael Gunn

"We chose Paragon over alternative systems because of the software's flexibility, their experience with large global accounts, and finally because they understood our operation and brought years of working knowledge to our organisation."

ACCO UK - Kevin Carr, Distribution Director

"Paragon enables us to improve customer service by automatically scheduling deliveries to meet increasing numbers of customer time windows. Combine this with warehouse cost savings of 5.6% per year, increased vehicle efficiency, reduced sub-contractor costs and a dramatic cut in planning administration makes Paragon pivotal to our distribution operation."

Healthcare at Home - Ruth Poole, Operations Director

"We chose Paragon software over other systems because it offered us the scalability, flexibility, routing reliability and range of software options required to meet the demands of our growing distribution operation. Interfacing seamlessly with our other IT packages it provides us with a complete routing solution that we can rely on every day."

Stapleton’s Tyre Services - Ian Kirkpatrick

"We have been delighted by how quickly the software has resulted in significant savings, enabling us to recover our initial investment in less than six months."
