Efficiency gains for ACCO
Needing to streamline its warehouse operation from a pick-by-zone to a pick-by-route regime meant that for ACCO, a large manufacturer of office products, faster route scheduling was a must. This key business goal has been achieved with the installation of Paragon’s Multi Depot system, which is now used in the early evening to calculate routes and schedules for next day deliveries.
This faster scheduling has enabled the integration of pick, pack and dispatch operations into a single smooth process, providing increased warehouse efficiency as orders are picked and loaded overnight in reverse drop sequence ready for dispatch early the next morning.
"Paragon enables us to improve customer service by automatically scheduling deliveries to meet increasing numbers of customer time windows", comments Kevin Carr, Distribution Director. "Combine this with warehouse cost savings of 5.6% per year, increased truck efficiency, reduced sub-contractor costs and a dramatic cut in planning administration makes Paragon pivotal to our distribution operation. We couldn’t plan without it!"
