Descartes Routing Cuts 25,000 Annual Miles for New Castle Building Products
DSGX•New Castle Building Products cut fleet mileage by approximately 25,000 miles annually using Descartes’ data-driven route planning solution, lowering fuel consumption, costs and boosting on-time delivery performance. The implementation improved route consistency and accuracy across 24 locations in six Northeastern states and enabled scalable distribution without increasing fleet size.
1. Case Study Implementation
New Castle Building Products deployed Descartes’ route planning and execution platform across its 24 locations in six Northeastern states, replacing manual decentralized planning with centralized, data-driven routing.
2. Operational Benefits
The solution reduced annual fleet mileage by approximately 25,000 miles, lowered fuel consumption and costs, increased delivery reliability and on-time performance, and improved route consistency and accuracy without expanding fleet size.
3. Platform Capabilities and Scalability
Descartes’ platform dynamically optimizes routes based on delivery windows, vehicle capacity and traffic constraints, maximizing route density and enabling scalable distribution for building materials distributors.
