Geoplan mapping and optimisation tools were used to efficiently merge two international parcel courier networks following a corporate acquisition.
Find out moreAn established international parcel company was bought out by a large worldwide parcel carrier. The challenge was to combine the networks of the two companies across a variety of markets to ensure optimal coverage and minimal cost.
The intention was to identify which depot locations to merge, close or re-locate to deliver optimal final mile distribution and seamless integration with the parent company’s existing international supply chain.
“The Geoplan system was indispensable throughout the process of merging our two networks, we couldn’t have achieved the same result without it”
Geoplan mapping and optimisation tools were used to identify synergies between the two network structures:
Once the strategic planning process had been completed, Geoplan mapping tools and the outputs from the Geoplan Territory and Route Optimisers were used to feed into the operational implementation of the process.
Once the end-to-end process had been proven in the UK, the same tools and approach were rolled out across a number of other European markets, ensuring a quick, easy and consistent approach was taken for the whole group.
Geoplan consultancy services, mapping software and data combined to help Evri establish a market-leading network of ParcelShops and Lockers.
