DHL Exel chooses Paragon Software Systems

DHL Exel has adopted Paragon Software Systems’ routing and scheduling software for use on its BP forecourt and convenience stores contract. Previously, DHL Exel operated a system of fixed routes to deliver chilled and ambient goods to 300 BP stores throughout England from its Lutterworth, Leics depot, supported by outbases at Bellshill and the Golden Fleece Services at Junction 42 of the M6.

Paragon’s software has allowed DHL Exel to adopt a more flexible, automated approach, reducing its 61 routes to between 47 and 53 per day. Transport manager Lee Sylvester says: “Savings have been both immediate and substantial, with a significant reduction in fleet usage, manpower and fuel – impacting positively on our carbon footprint.”
