Atlantic Tire Distributors Selects Descartes Routing Solution to Scale Delivery Operations
February 07 2022 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Edenton, NC-based Atlantic Tire Distributors will use
Descartes’ cloud-based route planning solution to improve the
efficiency of its delivery operations to wholesale customers across
North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
“Reliable delivery service has been a cornerstone of building
strong customer relationships for over three decades,” said Ron
Causey, General Manager at Atlantic Tire. “With new manufacturing
partners, two additional warehouse facilities and a larger sales
team, we’ve grown considerably in the last few years alone.
Investing in Descartes’ technology to replace manual practices is a
critical step that will help us scale distribution efficiently so
we can continue to provide the convenient, accurate product
delivery our customers have come to expect.”
Descartes’ integrated routing and mobile solution provides an
easy and affordable way to plan, optimize, dispatch routes, track
and monitor delivery fleets in real-time. For
distribution-intensive companies, like Atlantic Tire, the solution
creates delivery efficiencies and improves customer service by
optimizing delivery routes and managing their execution through a
real-time mobile application used by the driver. Drivers also use
the mobile application to capture proof-of-delivery (POD) details.
Real-time text or email notifications keep customers up to date
with the progress of the delivery to enhance the customer
experience.
“We’re pleased that our solution will help Atlantic Tire improve
the efficiency and responsiveness of its growing distribution
operations,” said James Wee, General Manager Routing, Mobile and
Telematics at Descartes. “In diverse industries, automating manual
processes is imperative for organizations to scale effectively and
focus their people on higher-value work that improves financial
performance and the customer experience. Using Descartes’
innovative routing solution, companies have the technology required
to achieve consistently high levels of delivery performance, which
elevates the customer experience and minimizes distribution
costs.”
