US Supply Company Uses Descartes' Cloud-Based Routing and Mobile Solution to Improve Efficiency and Customer Service
14 Gennaio 2014 - 12:45PM
Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that US Supply Company (US Supply), a provider of plumbing and
contractor equipment, has improved efficiency and enhanced its
customer service by centralizing delivery operations with
Descartes' Route Planner On-demand solution.
"Prior to working with Descartes, our branches were planning and
executing deliveries independently. We had no centralization and
our drivers had no tools to manage or organize deliveries," said
Kevin Hollinger, Director of Operations at US Supply. "Using
Descartes' Route Planner On-demand, we made our routers and drivers
more effective resulting in annual savings of over USD $400,000.
We're also averaging 99.5% on-time and complete deliveries which is
fantastic for customer service."
Descartes' Route Planner On-demand is an integrated cloud-based
delivery route planning, execution and mobile solution. It provides
an easy and affordable way to plan routes, track and monitor driver
performance, and capture proof-of-delivery information in real
time. It optimizes both static and dynamic routes to maximize
productivity, taking into account geographic zones, time windows,
and the operational and physical constraints of delivery
fleets.
Descartes' Route Planner On-demand provides a sophisticated, yet
easy-to-use, functionality through a web browser, or through an
Android or Windows Mobile device. The web-based architecture and
use-based pricing model is ideally suited for small- to mid-size
enterprises that want advanced capabilities delivered simply and
cost effectively.
"We're thrilled to help US Supply achieve their goals of
improving operational efficiency and customer service," said Sergio
Torres, Vice President of Product Management for Descartes'
Routing, Mobile and Telematics. "Descartes' Route Planner On-demand
is an excellent option for distribution companies such as US Supply
to quickly roll out a new fleet management solution without having
a significant information technology burden or up-front investment.
We look forward to continuing to work with US Supply to improve
their productivity and performance."

help establish good relations and trust among their customers. The
business continued to grow in the 50's and early 60's, and in 1965,
US Supply Company opened a second location in the Phoenixville
area. Over the years, US Supply Company has continued to open
