The Challenge
Several years ago, the Pepsi Bottling Group-Denver began looking at a different software package as a way to reduce transportation costs, while still providing a high level of customer service. While they already had routing software, it was not adequately meeting their needs and their corporate office recommended a solution from Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies. Their evaluation found that Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies’ software had the industry strength and capabilities that Pepsi was looking for. Additionally, Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies has a strong commitment to product development and customer service, solidifying Pepsi’s decision to use this software.
About The Customer
Pepsi-Cola® is a worldwide recognized brand that is rich in company history and tradition. Pepsi’s strong corporate culture focuses on providing outstanding customer service and satisfying their customers’ needs. Exceptional customer service not only promotes the Pepsi corporate image, but their product image as well. The Denver facility embraces Pepsi’s tradition of delivering exceptional customer service every day as they make deliveries to their 7000+ customers in the greater Denver area. The Pepsi bottler runs between 32-45 bay trucks and 16-23 bulk trucks daily. Their average peak season volume for their bay routes is 30,000 cases per day while their bulk trucks average 70,000 cases per day (April -September).
The Solution
Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies’ Roadnet® Transportation Suite is comprised of daily routing and scheduling tools, strategic planning tools and a fleet loading module. Pepsi-Denver utilizes Roadnet®, a daily routing and scheduling tool, to efficiently plan their routes. While all Pepsi customers are important, the Denver facility must prioritize high-volume customers for on-time deliveries and extraordinary customer service. The flexibility of Roadnet allows Pepsi-Denver to operate with a 24-hour turnaround for orders. This makes a statement to their customers, especially during the peak delivery months or when a store runs a promotion. Pepsi-Denver attributes a variety of benefits to Roadnet, including consolidated the total number of daily routes, more accurately identify truck volume, reduced driver overtime, and significantly improved routing time.
