Challenge
Tesco’s growth was quickly outpacing its off-the-shelf routing software. With 7,000 trucks and 4,000+ locations, even small inefficiencies added up quickly. The old system couldn’t keep up with evolving constraints – like shift patterns, vehicle types, or depot capacities. Plans looked good on paper but didn’t work on the ground. They needed something built for them. And built for progress.
Solution
Together, we built a smart optimisation engine that creates optimised delivery schedules in under 90 minutes. It handles real-world complexity like driver rules, vehicle types, depot constraints, and live traffic conditions – all while reducing trips, distance, and reliance on third parties. Best of all, it scales with Tesco’s needs – it’s live in 15+ depots and rolling out across Europe.
