Blackheath Products cuts mileage by 20% with routing software

Purchased by Blackheath Products in preparation for a major expansion programme, Paragon has provided a consistent routing and scheduling solution for the company’s distribution of Formica laminate, kitchen and flooring products to trade establishments throughout the UK.

As well as supporting an expansion plan that saw the operation double in size, using Paragon has reduced planning time by 75%, increased vehicle utilisation and resulted in fuel and mileage savings of up to 20%. In addition, the system provides a cost-effective solution to problems caused by having two categories of product – kitchen products and sheet materials – that are stored and routed separately. Once orders are downloaded from Blackheath’s accounting and sales order system, Paragon filters and flags requests for each product type and ensures that two different vehicles aren’t sent to the same location on the same day.

Quick facts:
  • UK distribution of laminate, solid wood and solid surfacing worksurfaces
  • 22 vehicle fleet
Benefits reported:
  • Fuel and mileage savings of up to 20%
  • Reduced planning time by 75%
  • Supported operation expansion
