Spirit selected Paragon's logistics software due to its cost-effective licensing, the ability for multiple users to use the system at once and the ease of interfacing the system with the company’s databases. Prior to installing Paragon, Spirit planned all of its routes manually, which required substantial investment in human resources.
“Operationally, a key benefit of Paragon has been the reduction in the number of people required to plan routes and schedule deliveries. Where we used to have multiple associates routing in five or six locations, we now have a total of five,” says James Betz, Spirit’s Vice President Operations.
Spirit uses Paragon to make over one million deliveries a year throughout the US for a range of companies, including some of the nation’s famous retail brands. Its nationwide operations incorporate 24 strategically located warehousing and distribution centers, including 5 super-regional centers in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco and Jacksonville.
“Paragon has allowed us to streamline our planning operations considerably and maximize the use of our fleet of 225 trucks and drivers. The system provides accurate information that can be utilized across the business giving full visibility of loads and scheduled arrival times. With this intelligence we can constantly evolve our quality of service through improving efficiencies across the business,” says James Betz.
