Die Erfolgsgeschichte
SPAR
The Simacan Control Tower helps SPAR to plan and monitor the deliveries executed by carrier Simon Loos to the retailer’s Dutch convenience stores. SPAR is a multinational franchise for independently owned and operated food retail stores. SPAR provides all its store managers with insight into the exact location and the precise delivery ETA of each truck carrying deliveries for them.
- SPAR plant alle Transporte anhand der Simacan-Zeit-Entfernungs-Matrix;
- +450 niederländische SPAR-Märkte haben Einblick in die Ankunftszeiten der eingehenden Lieferungen;
- Einzelhändler können die für sie bestimmten Lieferungen auf der SPAR-Ankunftsanzeige sehen;
- Die voraussichtliche Ankunftszeit wird auf der Grundlage verschiedener Daten, einschließlich Echtzeit-Verkehrsinformationen, berechnet.
SPAR legt Wert auf genaue Liefertermine
Rob Salomé, Supply Chain & Logistics Manager bei SPAR: "Ich bin 2016 erstmals mit Simacan in Kontakt gekommen. Es war sehr interessant zu sehen, was Simacan macht, und ich sah sofort Möglichkeiten für uns, die Simacan-Plattform zu nutzen - zunächst, um unsere Märkte über genaue Ankunftszeiten zu informieren.
Sichtbarkeit der aktuellen Planung
SPAR does its planning in OptiFlow. The Simacan Time-Distance matrix (TD matrix) and associated delay matrix is integrated with OptiFlow so that the planners can prepare a very detailed plan of the upcoming trips.
“The first thing we do every day is log in to the Simacan Control Tower to check whether the trucks have left on time that morning and whether they are still on schedule. We can see the exact real-time status of all trips as well as when they departed from the DC, which customer deliveries have already been executed, where each truck is at that moment and their ETAs.”

“All our SPAR store managers have access to the SPAR arrival display. They can log in to the system to see which deliveries are scheduled, what time the goods are due to arrive, and how many containers of ambient, fresh, frozen and tobacco products they will receive. They can also see the real-time status of the trucks and receive an immediate alert if a delivery is behind or ahead of schedule. So they continuously know exactly what time the truck will arrive at their store.”
“Before we started working with Simacan, most of our communication with store managers consisted of phone calls about when they could expect to receive their deliveries. Now we don’t have to do anything anymore, which is a big improvement – it’s fantastic!”
The Simacan Control Tower allows SPAR’s planners to see all the trucks, their trips and their ETAs. SPAR shares this information with its store managers using the arrival display. This results in a clear overview of the entire operational planning, supporting real-time adjustments and more efficiency all round.

Emissionsfreie Stadtlieferungen: SPARs Engagement für nachhaltige Logistik
“As we open ever-more SPAR city stores and even ‘city small’ (tiny stores of just 80m2 in urban areas), it’s becoming increasingly difficult to use conventional transport. So we replenish our SPAR city small in Utrecht by first transporting the goods in our big trucks to CityHub, a logistics service provider based on the outskirts of Utrecht. After cross-docking at this hub, the goods are delivered to our city stores using zero-emission vehicles.”
