Greggs have been using Paragon's routing system for quite some time now and they have also been using it to try and optimise their distribution as well. They have become a part of a £100 million investment program and this is completely reshaping the way that the UK retailer works. Those who work in driving jobs or even in driving recruitment will find this especially interesting because it really is the start of a brand new beginning.
The UL food chain was able to model the requirements after a consolidation after the Edinburgh and even the Glasgow bakeries tried to improve their fleet utilisation by well over 30%. They also wanted to remove over 900 miles every single week from the plans that they have.
The decision to try and centre the excellence would really help the shops in Scotland and it would also help those who get a better service from them as well. Greggs have been known to operate 35 x 18-tonne rigs and these are split between the two Scottish bakeries. These service over 250 shops twice a day.
The planned expansion is going to cover all of the Scottish shops in general and there is also going to be a software that will help to resize the total fleet to 24 commercially based vehicles. These would all operate on drop-route plans and it would also remove the trunking operation that they have as well.
The food sector is always increasing in the UK and there is also a very high demand for it as well. You need to take into account the peak times and you also need to target the demands of the customer. For this reason, it is very important for the supply chain to make sure that customers always have a choice and that everything is being done to ensure their satisfaction.
