Paragon proved the natural choice for US egg producer and processor National Food Corporation (NFC), demonstrating the functionality required to streamline distribution throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and the Midwest. Specifically selected ahead of rival US systems for the ease with which it handles multi-fleet work and cross docking, Paragon is also driving out savings through centralised planning.
Paragon’s Integrated Fleets software has been purchased for the daily planning of NFC’s 100-vehicle collection and delivery operation involving 15 farm, processing and distribution sites and 800 customers. The system's plans for the 2,400 weekly deliveries will automatically accommodate time window restrictions ranging from five minutes to 24 hours, product load incompatibilities and additional transport services provided to some customers. NFC sees the potential for benefits ranging from reduced empty running to increased visibility. "It is clear to see that these will be achieved," says spokesman Kevin Bookey, "because Paragon took the time to understand our operational needs and assess the software’s suitability. The good fit was obvious. We now have a powerful tactical tool which will make it easy for us to see exactly where our resources are being deployed – backed up by a responsive support team which remains focused on our goals."
