Organisation:

Gateshead Council

Optimize has improved the ef fi ciency of Gateshead Council’s school holiday meal scheme, Cook n’ Eat, by using its route optimisation platform, My Transport Planner. The council was providing 1,700 families with food boxes for a week’s worth of meals. Initially, the process was time-consuming and ineffi cient with only 30-40 deliveries per vehicle each day. By deploying the Optimize services the council was able to signifi cantly improve the number of deliveries per vehicle per day, saving time and money on fuel. The council staff were able to complete their deliveries in half a day and return to their normal work activities.

Organisation: Fuel Card Services

Fuel Card Services, one of the largest independent fuel card businesses in the UK, is expanding its offerings with the addition of My Transport Planner, a route optimisation platform from Optimize. The technology helps fleet operators save time and money while reducing emissions. The web-based software is easy to implement and user-friendly. It will sit within Fuel Card Services’s online portal ‘My Fleet Hub’, which also includes other products and services for fleet management. Fuel Card Services has several electric vehicle products in the pipeline, including home and work charging products, and believes My Transport Planner will play a key role in this area. The ultimate goal is to make life easier for operators by accessing all fleet management services from one hub. The addition of My Transport Planner is expected to boost customer retention and support a transition to electrification of fleets.
