Ivan Smith Furniture
Problem
Ivan Smith Furniture was using an outdated routing software product to create its routes. The older, less sophisticated tool required a dispatcher to manually assign stops to a particular driver and sequence the stops in what appeared to be the most logical order.
Solution
With ArcLogistics, Ivan Smith Furniture is able to solve for lowest cost while considering factors such as delivery windows, truck capacity, length of workday, and drive times. Read more.

Featured Success Story
Nashville Electric Service
Problem
"We began to have retirements," comments Michael Buri, lighting and attachments supervisor, Nashville Electric Service (NES), "and the people who knew the system inside and out were starting to leave. The remaining employees did not have the years of experience to know where each particular light or address was located or the expertise of retiring employees who had worked at NES for 30 or 40 years."
Solution
"The crews love it," says Buri. "Not only did it make my job a lot faster and easier but it also did the same for them. They can look at my cover sheet with the route map, and they know exactly what area of town they're going to. Previously, they had to shuffle through a pile of papers and put all their calls in order. That would take each crew about an hour every morning, time we're now using to service lights. We have had the program for a year now and have improved the number of lights serviced per day per crew by about 20 to 23 percent."

Problem
Morey's Seafood International LLC is one of the largest fresh fish and seafood distributors in the United States. Morey's began using ArcLogistics to improve the delivery of its products in the Detroit, Michigan area, one of the firm's biggest markets.

Morey's was also able to reduce its fleet of delivery trucks from 28 to 23, an 18 percent decrease. By loading fewer trucks with more orders, Morey's was able to significantly reduce transportation costs.

Featured Success Story
Cook County, Illinois
Problem
How do you schedule more than 25,000 inspections per year in the most efficient manner while avoiding multiple trips to the same building or street for different tenants? Until recently, the solution to this conundrum involved a great deal of time and frustration and dozens of highlighters for the Housing Authority of the County of Cook (HACC).
Solution
To untangle the task of organizing and cataloging these inspections, HACC implemented ArcLogistics to automate inspection routing. Each inspector now does 33 percent more inspections; mileage payments have dropped by at least this amount; and, in one-half hour, supervisors can schedule inspections that previously would have taken them most of the day.
