Even industry giants like Sysco face operational challenges that eat into profits. But automated order management, constraint-conscious routing, and streamlined workflows made Sysco’s operational headaches a thing of the past.
Serving a vast network of 725,000 locations worldwide, Sysco stands as a global leader in the world of food service and supply chain. They pride themselves in not only nourishing the body, but also fostering community and caring.
Yet, even industry giants like Sysco face operational challenges that eat away at profit margins.
Picture the chaos of manually reaching out to over 700,000 stores to record inventory and manage orders. Or managing varying delivery frequencies for each store and manually creating routes, only to discover that some drivers took the wrong vehicles for the job.
On top of this, Sysco lacked real-time insights into routes, driver locations, delivery status, and proof of delivery–critical elements in an industry where timeliness and accuracy are paramount.
In the office, the operations team has visibility into the status of every route and delivery. Armed with a clear paper trail, delivery mistakes have been eliminated. Instead, Sysco can set its sights on growth, as their routes have become so efficient that they can accommodate more business than ever without expanding their workforce or creating additional routes.
Geo Operations is the most comprehensive business operations solution on the planet, leveraging location data to optimize every facet of operations and logistics. With this power at their fingertips, businesses can streamline processes, automate workflows, and ensure nothing ever falls through the cracks– all while tapping into key insights that drive growth.
Now, with automated order management, constraint-conscious routing, and streamlined dashboards and workflows, Sysco’s operational headaches are a thing of the past.
Imagine starting each workday with ready-made routes that make efficiency a no-brainer. Drivers receive their route and vehicle instructions each morning, with precise instructions that ensure a swift start to their day and efficiency delivery at each location.
When a driver arrives for a delivery, they always arrive within that location’s delivery window, thanks to Geo Operations’ comprehensive route planning. At the time of delivery, drivers can submit a form with a date and time stamp, pictures, and a signature as proof of delivery.
For Sysco, this translated into tightened operations, heightened efficiency, and reducing their bottom line. In the 2023 fiscal year, Sysco achieved a record-breaking $76 billion in sales, reinforcing its commitment to community and care on a global scale.
Now, that’s what we call location-intelligent planning!
