As the country’s largest wholesale distributor of landscape supplies, SiteOne prides itself on knowing its customers’ businesses better than anyone else. They’re obsessed with helping their customers succeed, and they make that happen through personalized service and deep knowledge of their goals, challenges, and needs. With distribution centers all around the country, their goal was to carry that customer obsession into their last mile deliveries by providing impeccable experiences at every step of the process.
The Challenge: Achieving Delivery Excellence at Scale
To make that happen, they knew they needed an upgrade from their manual delivery route planning. They envisioned a way to better serve their customers via smarter route optimization and total delivery visibility before, during, and after the day of delivery. The catch? They needed to find a solution that was so easy to implement and such an obvious win that individual distribution centers in their network would adopt it willingly.
The Solution
By partnering with DispatchTrack, SiteOne was able to uplevel their delivery service to better serve their customers—all while paving the way to widespread adoption throughout the company.
Our platform offered:
- Route optimization that offered 98% accurate ETAs while ensuring the most efficient use of delivery capacity
