GEPISA implements LOGISPLAN to optimise its distribution routes

GEPISA, a company specialising in animal-feed distribution, has begun a process of transforming and improving its logistics operations by implementing LOGISPLAN, the route optimisation system developed by Evolution Algorithms.

With this implementation, the company aims to improve the efficiency of its distribution operations, reduce transport-related costs and optimise the use of its fleet and logistics resources.

A growing route-planning challenge

In a context where logistics efficiency has become a strategic factor, GEPISA 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:

• Coordinating deliveries in rural areas with difficult access.
• Optimising loads according to vehicle type and feed type.
• Reducing mileage between farms and production centres.
• Maintaining efficiency with a high number of stops.

A project based on real data

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

The implementation of LOGISPLAN made it possible to automate route planning and optimisation.

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

GEPISA's adoption of LOGISPLAN is part of a clear roadmap:

• Automating route planning and optimisation.
• Improving vehicle and driver utilisation.
• Reducing manual planning times.

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:

• Greater efficiency on rural delivery routes.
• Better use of load capacity.
• Lower operational logistics costs.

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

GEPISA'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.
