UNIDROCO implements LOGISPLAN to optimise its distribution routes

UNIDROCO, a company specialising in last-mile 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

Pressure to improve margins and service quality led UNIDROCO to rethink how it plans and carries out its distribution operations.

Last-mile delivery requires maximising deliveries per route in dense urban environments with access restrictions, traffic and very tight time windows.

The main challenges identified included:

• Optimising routes in complex urban environments.
• Maximising deliveries per vehicle and per shift.
• Meeting time windows in last-mile distribution.
• Reducing mileage and unproductive driving time.

A project based on real data

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

LOGISPLAN made it possible to optimise delivery routes and resources.

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

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

• Automating urban delivery planning.
• Improving the productivity of last-mile routes.
• Reducing cost per delivery.

Expected results and benefits

With LOGISPLAN in production, UNIDROCO expects to consolidate a more predictable, efficient operation that can adapt to day-to-day changes.

The main expected benefits include:

• Reducing delivery mileage and times.
• More deliveries per route.
• Better service quality for the final recipient.

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

UNIDROCO'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.
