DISA Gestión Logística implements LOGISPLAN to optimise its distribution routes
DISA Gestión Logística takes a step towards more efficient logistics by implementing LOGISPLAN for hydrocarbon distribution.
DISA Gestión Logística, 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 improve distribution efficiency, reduce transport costs and achieve more agile, controlled planning across the fleet and resources.
A growing route-planning challenge
Pressure to improve margins and service quality led DISA Gestión Logística to rethink how it plans and carries out its distribution operations.
In hydrocarbon distribution, coordinating tanker routes, meeting supply windows and maximising fleet utilisation are critical to profitability and service quality.
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
After an initial meeting with the Evolution Algorithms team, LOGISPLAN was presented with a focus on analysing the company's specific operational challenges.
The implementation of LOGISPLAN made it possible to automate route planning and optimise resource allocation.
Using this information, the technical team prepared different optimisation simulations and scenarios to confirm that LOGISPLAN was suitable for meeting the company's logistics-planning needs.
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
DISA Gestión Logística's adoption of LOGISPLAN is part of a clear roadmap:
- 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
With LOGISPLAN in production, DISA Gestión Logística expects to consolidate a more predictable, efficient operation that can adapt to day-to-day changes.
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
DISA Gestión Logística's commitment to logistics optimisation solutions reflects the growing importance of digitalisation and automation in the transport and distribution sector.
By implementing LOGISPLAN, the company takes another step towards logistics management that is more efficient, sustainable and ready to meet the sector's current challenges.
Frequently asked questions
How does LOGISPLAN help optimise routes for hydrocarbon distribution?
LOGISPLAN automatically calculates optimal routes and loads while considering operational constraints, time windows, vehicle capacities and costs, enabling DISA Gestión Logística to plan hydrocarbon distribution more accurately.
Can tests be carried out with real data before implementation?
Yes. Evolution Algorithms can prepare simulations using real DISA Gestión Logística 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.
