Predictive routing across 14,000 SKUs and 38 European depots.
We replaced Aldoria's static route planner with a forecasting and routing stack that learns from every delivery — and we did it without disrupting a single overnight run.
Aldoria moves time-sensitive consignments across thirty-eight depots in seventeen European countries. The board had set a target of £10 million in annual cost savings within twenty-four months, with no degradation in service-level performance. The existing planner had been built in-house in 2014 and had reached the limit of what spreadsheet logic could do. We were brought in to design and build the replacement.
The existing planner was wrong about 18 per cent of the time, which the dispatch teams quietly worked around using twenty years of accumulated tacit knowledge. Any new system had to be measurably better than that workaround — not just better than the planner — and it had to be trusted by people who had every reason to be sceptical. The fleet was 1,400 vehicles across four legal entities, each with its own labour rules. And we could not interrupt overnight delivery, which moved roughly £3.4 million of freight every twenty-four hours.
How we went about it.
“Twenty years on the desk. I have never trusted a routing system before. I trust this one because it shows me why.”
What it delivered.
If the shape of Aldoria Logistics’s problem rhymes with one of yours, the most useful conversation is rarely an email exchange. We will sit with two of your operators for an hour and tell you whether we can help, whether someone else can help better, or whether the problem is not yet ready to be solved. That conversation is on us.
