Visitors to the IFDA Foodservice Distribution Conference, October 25 to 26, in Fort Worth, Texas will learn how Paragon Software Systems Inc. is helping leading food and drink transportation and distribution organizations, including Martin-Brower, Loveland Distributing and National Food Corporation, to lower their logistics costs while delivering improved customer service.
For food and beverages distributors serving retail or foodservice outlets, driving productivity through efficient distribution is critical for success. Whether supplying stores or restaurants and cafeterias, customers rely on accurate and timely delivery of goods. With demanding delivery schedules and often low profit margins, the key to generating repeat business for foodservice distributors lies with streamlined delivery operations that use optimized plans to increase on-time performance, minimize delays and boost efficiency.
Experts from Paragon Software Systems Inc. will be on hand at Booth 609 to demonstrate how Paragon’s advanced routing and scheduling, resource management and transportation execution optimization technology has helped these companies and many others globally to achieve significant transportation efficiencies and exceptional customer service, while at the same time reducing the costs that impact their bottom line.
Recent Paragon software enhancements to be presented include:
- Arrival Time Banding – a new feature to help distributors organize store deliveries to arrive on site at similar times each day, making it easier for their customers to receive their orders at times to suit them. It also allows transporters to make full utilization of their drivers and trucks, while providing the service improvements.
- Dispatch Smoothing – a new capability to prevent bottlenecks in warehouse dispatch. This special feature makes it possible to balance logistics and warehousing operations by optimizing workflows that improve efficiency and reduce cost through effective use of resources. The software makes it possible to plan the optimal number of loads for dispatch so that the warehouse can easily cope with the demand.
