Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LocoNav has been associated with one of India\u2019s largest conglomerates in the branded milk segment. The organisation has been a key player in the FMCG industry, with multiple brands under its aegis. This dairy giant has been growing from strength to strength since more than 3 decades of operation. Having established itself as a market leader dealing in milk and milk products, the company has been leveraging LocoNav\u2019s services to optimise its vast distribution channel spread across the country.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Being a part of the FMCG industry, it was crucial for the organisation to keep tabs on its first mile delivery, to ensure the vitality of the perishable items it deals with. The process of primary movement in the dairy industry can be described as the follows:<\/p>\n

Before partnering with LocoNav, our client was facing many issues in terms of visibility and lack of route optimisation in its first mile delivery. To begin with, the company was unable to have a clear view of its fleet and monitor their movement. As a consequence, they were incapable of identifying and putting a stop to unwanted and unauthorised stoppages. It was later found that these unrecorded halts were the locations where the items under transportation were being pilfered. No direct visibility over their fleet proliferated their business costs.<\/p>\n

With a spike in the number of stops between the source and the destination, the fleet managers of the firm recorded a higher TAT (Turnaround Time). As a result of an increased TAT, apart from the logistical and operational losses that the organisation had to bear, they further saw an increase in the amount of their products getting spoilt. The upshot of spoilage supplemented added financial losses to the company.<\/p>\n

Another issue that the enterprise was facing was lack of optimisation in the routes that were being undertaken for deliveries. The absence of a route management system significantly added to the costs to the business, since the client used to end up paying additional charges for on-duty distance covered.<\/p>\n

LocoNav was tasked with optimising the delivery and distribution channel for the organisation to reduce TAT and curb pilferage and spoilage by implementing a robust fleet management system<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
