Paragon’s route optimisation software transforms food distribution for Frozen Food Express

Frozen Food Express (FFE) is one of the largest temperature-controlled LTL (Less than Load) operators in the US. In spite of managing more than 6,500 deliveries and collections each week, transport planning was carried out manually by staff located at each of its fourteen service centres. 

Service centres had limited visibility of the whereabouts of the tractor, trailer and driver resources as well as the arrival times of the trunking vehicles.  Find out how FFE employed Paragon’s route optimisation software to transform the efficiency of their food distribution operation, reducing transport costs and improving on-time deliveries significantly.
