CEPSA chooses LOGISPLAN to digitalise its logistics planning
CEPSA takes a step towards more efficient logistics by implementing LOGISPLAN for direct fuel sales.
CEPSA, a leading company in direct diesel and fuel sales, has decided to evolve its logistics management with LOGISPLAN, the route optimisation software developed by Evolution Algorithms.
The aim is to improve distribution efficiency, reduce transport costs and achieve more agile, controlled planning across the fleet and resources.
A growing route-planning challenge
Faced with an increasingly demanding operating environment, CEPSA identified an opportunity to modernise route planning and the allocation of vehicles and drivers.
Direct diesel sales require dispersed orders, tight delivery windows and a fleet capable of responding quickly to daily demand.
The main challenges identified included:
- Coordinating punctual deliveries across multiple supply points.
- Optimising vehicle allocation according to capacity and service type.
- Reducing planning times in highly variable operations.
- Improving the level of service provided to end customers.
A project based on real data
The project began with an analysis session between CEPSA and Evolution Algorithms to understand day-to-day operations and business constraints.
LOGISPLAN automated route generation and vehicle 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, CEPSA is pursuing several strategic objectives:
- Automating route generation and vehicle allocation.
- Reducing delivery operating costs.
- Improving punctuality and service quality.
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:
- Better use of resources and fleet capacity.
- Lower transport costs.
- Greater customer satisfaction with scheduled deliveries.
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
CEPSA'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.
Frequently asked questions
How does LOGISPLAN help optimise routes for direct fuel sales?
LOGISPLAN automatically calculates optimal routes and loads while considering operational constraints, time windows, vehicle capacities and costs, enabling CEPSA to plan direct fuel deliveries more accurately.
Can tests be carried out with real data before implementation?
Yes. Evolution Algorithms can prepare simulations using real CEPSA operational data to validate results and fine-tune the configuration before full deployment.
Does LOGISPLAN integrate with the company's existing systems?
LOGISPLAN can integrate with ERP systems and corporate platforms to automate the exchange of orders, resources and planning results, reducing manual work.
