挑战
Golden Eagle Distributors, one of the largest beer distributors in the United States, faced the challenge of managing a vast and complex delivery network. With over 2,400 accounts and handling approximately 11 million cases per year, the company needed to optimize its delivery routes and improve overall efficiency. The existing system required significant manual effort and time to complete daily routing tasks, which was not sustainable given the scale of operations. Additionally, the company sought to enhance driver accountability, improve communication, and gain real-time insights into delivery operations to stay ahead of competitors.
关于客户
Golden Eagle Distributors is a prominent beer distribution company headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The company manages over 2,400 accounts from six distribution centers and handles approximately 11 million cases annually. Ranked as the 9th largest exclusive Anheuser-Busch wholesaler and 24th among all US beer distributors by volume, Golden Eagle has established itself as a leader in the industry. The company operates a diverse range of delivery routes, including pre-sale, driver sale, chain routes, and draft-only routes. Golden Eagle is committed to leveraging advanced technology to optimize its operations and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
解决方案
To address these challenges, Golden Eagle Distributors implemented the Omnitracs Roadnet Transportation Suite from Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies. This suite includes Roadnet, MobileCast, Info Center, and Territory Planner, which together provide a comprehensive solution for route optimization and real-time delivery management. The Roadnet system allows Golden Eagle to produce both standard and dynamic routes efficiently, completing all daily routing tasks in less than 45 minutes. The addition of the MobileCast system enabled wireless dispatch and tracking, providing real-time delivery information and GPS data for the trucks' locations. Each driver carries a Nextel phone with the MobileCast delivery application, capturing precise arrival and departure times and relaying this information back to the dispatcher in real-time. The Roadnet Info Center further enhances the solution by making delivery information accessible to the entire organization through a user-friendly Java application, allowing for quick and accurate responses to customer inquiries and comprehensive reporting on costs, route exceptions, and delivery efficiencies.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
