AVIA chooses LOGISPLAN to digitalise its logistics planning

AVIA, a leading distributor of hydrocarbons and petroleum products, has decided to evolve its logistics management with LOGISPLAN, the route optimisation software developed by Evolution Algorithms.

The aim is to increase distribution efficiency, reduce transport costs and achieve more agile, controlled planning across the fleet and resources.

A growing route-planning challenge

In a context where logistics efficiency has become a strategic factor, AVIA identified the need to evolve its route-planning and resource-allocation processes.

The combination of more deliveries, operational constraints and higher service expectations meant that manual planning based on spreadsheets or individual planner experience was no longer sufficient.

The main challenges identified included:

• Optimising delivery routes subject to tanker-capacity constraints.
• Reducing empty mileage between deliveries.
• Coordinating multiple shifts and heterogeneous fleets.
• Ensuring fulfilment of supply commitments.
• Minimising transport costs without compromising operational safety.

A project based on real data

The project began with an analysis session between AVIA and Evolution Algorithms to understand day-to-day operations and business constraints.

The implementation of LOGISPLAN made it possible to automate route planning and optimise resource allocation.

The simulations carried out made it possible to validate the fit of the solution before moving on to operational deployment.

What does LOGISPLAN bring to logistics optimisation?

LOGISPLAN is advanced route optimisation software designed for the transport and logistics sector. The system automatically calculates the optimal routes and loads for each vehicle in the fleet, taking into account multiple constraints and operational variables.

The solution can take into account factors such as:

• Delivery and collection time windows.
• Vehicle capacities and types.
• Technical and regulatory constraints.
• Operating costs.
• Driver schedules.
• Load optimisation.
• Fixed, scheduled or charter services.

LOGISPLAN also integrates with the company's ERP systems and corporate platforms, enabling automated information exchange and full automation of the planning process.

Project objectives

By implementing LOGISPLAN, AVIA is pursuing several strategic objectives:

• Automating the daily planning of tanker routes.
• Improving fleet and driver utilisation.
• Reducing mileage and unproductive time.
• Strengthening operational control over deliveries and constraints.

Expected results and benefits

Implementing an advanced optimisation solution such as LOGISPLAN will give the company much more efficient and flexible planning.

The main expected benefits include:

• Reducing mileage and transport costs.
• Improving compliance with supply windows.
• Increasing tanker-fleet productivity.
• Faster planning with less dependence on manual processes.

The use of advanced optimisation algorithms also makes it possible to analyse multiple scenarios and identify more efficient operating configurations, helping the company size its logistics resources correctly.

Technology for more efficient logistics

AVIA's decision to implement LOGISPLAN reflects the industry's move towards more digital, measurable and efficiency-driven operations.

Evolution Algorithms supports the company throughout this process, helping turn logistics planning into a genuine competitive advantage.
