Glanbia plc, the international nutritional ingredients and cheese group, headquartered in Ireland, has saved 16 per cent in delivery costs by using Paragon’s computerized routing and scheduling solution. The supplier of Yoplait, Avonmore and Kilmeaden dairy produce says the savings have paid back its investment in the Paragon software within a matter of months.

The company went live with the transportation optimization solution in September 2009, allowing it to remove three trucks from its fleet. Since then a further two vehicles have been retired from service through recalibrating the routes and schedules. Glanbia uses the system to model, review and improve fixed routes for making about 2,000 deliveries a week to a wide range of customers. These include most of Ireland’s supermarkets and convenience stores.

“We are very pleased with the performance of the Paragon system. Not only has it helped us reduce our delivery costs by 16%, we have improved the accuracy of our plans.” Dave Colgan, Transportation Manager, Glanbia
