ASDA will soon complete a major two-year distribution operation project using a transport optimisation solution, incorporating Isotrak vehicle-tracking equipment. Using the fully-integrated transport optimisation and execution system called Total Transport System (TTS), which combines Isotrak’s real-time transport execution and management technology with Paragon routing and scheduling optimisation software, ASDA has implemented a new regional distribution structure.
With the system, ASDA has been able to improve delivery services to its stores, make better use of driver resources, ensure route compliance and reduce operational costs.
Chris Hall, national transport manager, ASDA, says: “ASDA transport has been completely transformed to provide new efficiencies across the board. TTS has enabled this and is providing significant improvements in the way we plan and manage our resources and in how we plan more than 18,000 store deliveries a week using our 900 strong fleet.
"The results of this business change are on-time delivery improvements to the stores, optimisation of our driver and vehicle resources and greater route compliance, which is also reducing mileage, fuel costs and emissions.”

Supplying demand: how fashion retailers can meet the needs of customers and still be sustainable
The fashion industry is no stranger to breaking the mould and setting trends, but the pursuit of style can come at a huge cost to the environment.
New legislation, such as the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will set mandatory minimums for the inclusion of recycled fibres in textiles, making them longer-lasting and easier to repair.
