LONDON and ATLANTA, Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Topps Tiles, the leading U.K. tile retailer, is optimising its fleet delivery capabilities with Descartes\u2019 cloud-based route planning and optimisation solution. By working with Descartes, Topps Tiles is decreasing the average kilometers driven per delivery route by two percent and gaining a better understanding of the potential impact of changes to its delivery strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith over 300 stores nationwide in the U.K., we\u2019re continuously evaluating how to maintain a high degree of customer service while reducing operational costs, especially today\u2019s high transportation costs,\u201d said Simon Macdonald, National Transport Manager, Topps Tiles. \u201cWorking with Descartes, we\u2019ve replaced manual, spreadsheet-based processes with automated route planning to optimise the volume of tiles being delivered at any given time, as well as the routes our vehicles are travelling. Descartes\u2019 strategic route modelling capabilities are also enabling us to model delivery scenarios and make more informed strategic decisions, which would have been nearly impossible with traditional resource-intensive analytical methods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of its Routing, Mobile and Telematics suite, Descartes\u2019 route planning and optimisation solution helps brands, retailers and logistics providers reduce costs with more agile and efficient routing, improve fleet resource management by generating additional delivery capacity and become more sustainable through the reduction of their CO2 footprint and their use of paper across the route network. The strategic route modelling capabilities allow companies to understand and optimize their delivery and customer service strategies before having to execute them. Descartes\u2019 mobile application helps drivers perform their daily routes, keeps managers aware of the progress and provides an accurate estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA) to notify customers of their deliveries. Proof of delivery (POD) capabilities support customer service excellence and order accuracy through real-time mobile communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cTopps Tiles\u2019 long-term success is based upon its ability to continually provide customers with a superior shopping experience while offering cost competitive pricing,\u201d said P\u00f3l Sweeney, VP Fleet Sales in Europe at Descartes. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to help Topps Tiles minimize its operational costs today through our route planning and optimisation solution and in the future with our strategic route modelling capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
