Overview

The story behind the numbers

FastFreight Logistics runs a national fleet of 1,400 vehicles making more than 60,000 stops a day. Routing was handled by regional dispatchers using static templates that hadn't kept pace with traffic, fuel prices, or customer windows.

Even small per-route inefficiencies, multiplied across the fleet, added up to millions in wasted fuel and missed delivery promises.

Every route, every depot, every day.

The challenge

What stood in the way

Static, manually-built routes left money on the road every single day.

Dispatchers planned routes by hand using outdated templates.

Routes ignored live traffic, weather, and real-time fuel prices.

Total miles driven were far higher than necessary across the fleet.

On-time delivery rates suffered during peak and disruption events.

There was no way to re-optimize once a day was already in motion.

The solution

How we built the lift

We deployed the Route Optimizer to plan and continuously re-plan every route against live conditions and delivery constraints.

1

Modeled the full fleet, depots, vehicle types, and delivery windows.

2

Optimized routes against live traffic, weather, and fuel-price feeds.

3

Enabled dynamic re-routing when disruptions hit mid-day.

4

Integrated with the existing telematics and dispatch systems.

5

Gave dispatchers override controls and clear explanations for each plan.

"We thought our routes were already tight. The optimizer found 12% of miles we didn't know we were wasting — every day, across the whole fleet."

"Dynamic re-routing during a major storm kept our on-time rate above 90% while competitors fell apart. That's when it earned the team's trust for good."
