Fuel costs reduced by 31%
How a logistics company saved £180K annually with AI-powered route optimisation.
The Situation Before Sync4Tech
A regional logistics company operating 45 vehicles was planning routes manually each morning dispatchers printing maps, calling drivers, and adjusting plans reactively when deliveries were missed or addresses were wrong.
Fuel was the business's largest variable cost, and it was being consumed inefficiently: vehicles crossing each other's paths, drivers taking suboptimal routes, and last-minute changes causing cascading delays.
Customer satisfaction was also suffering ETAs were estimates at best, real-time tracking was unavailable, and missed deliveries required expensive re-runs.
How We Solved It
Fleet Data Integration
We connected the vehicle telematics system, order management platform, and customer database into a unified operations data layer.
Route Optimisation Engine
We built an AI route optimisation engine that generates optimal multi-stop routes for every vehicle each morning, accounting for time windows, vehicle capacity, and real-time traffic.
Dispatch Automation
Route plans are automatically sent to drivers via mobile app each morning, with real-time adjustment capability for same-day changes.
Customer Notifications
We automated customer ETA notifications via SMS and email, updated in real-time based on vehicle GPS position.
Measurable Impact
£180K saved annually on fuel through optimised routing across the 45-vehicle fleet.
Up from 87% driven by optimised routes and real-time rerouting.
Fuel savings alone covered the full project cost within the first quarter.
