When will my delivery arrive?

If you are working to replenish fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs), and especially food products, all your customers – whether they are consumers at home, staff in supermarkets or retail stores, or transport and distribution managers – want to know the same thing: ‘When can I expect my deliveries?’ To keep store shelves full and home delivery operations running smoothly, transport should be aligned across the whole supply chain.

Get a closer look into store replenishment

In store replenishment, there is only one thing that counts: customer satisfaction, since everybody knows that a happy customer is a repeat customer. Deliveries therefore need to be punctual so that you can outperform the competition on customer excellence scores.

Grocery and high-volume retail logistics are synonymous with complexity. As a shipper, you charter many fleets and probably work with numerous carriers. Managing daily supply chain logistics with the added complexity of multiple hubs, stores, distribution centres and warehouses demands a highly efficient transport operation supported by an intelligent end-to-end supply chain visibility platform. Managing the exceptions and gaining insights to help you improve efficiency and reduce costs all starts with monitoring the entire fleet – and that’s where the Simacan solution comes in.

Manage by exception

Eliminate distractions. Receive automatic updates and configurable alerts when service levels are at risk. Connect all platforms so that everyone in the supply chain has the power to anticipate unexpected changes. Find the quickest, safest and most accurate route to ensure full shelves and happy customers.

Smaller planning burden

With Simacan you can create a realistic plan for the whole transport fleet, with a smaller staff than before. Discover and recognize patterns in supply chain data algorithms that enable continuous improvement. Optimize your transport planning by using congruent, unambiguous analytics of transportation operations based on business intelligence.

Reduce carriage costs

Improve warehouse productivity and save hours of waiting time for your drivers. New innovations like paperless transport can easily double the time savings and hence reduce costs! With Simacan you can ensure on-shelf availability of goods as cost-efficiently as possible.

Simacan Succes stories

“Once our truck drivers had left the distribution centre, we literally had no idea where they were. Therefore, we decided to invest in optimizing our planning and gaining maximum supply chain visibility. We use Simacan to monitor all the trips and also for all the associated communication. Besides that, we use a central advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system from Quintiq. Between them, those two systems give us optimal support – from strategic planning all the way through to the actual trips.”
