Company
Tesco, one of the UK's leading retailers, operates a complex logistics network to deliver to over 3,000 stores across the UK. Its Reading distribution centre, one of the biggest in Europe, dispatches up to 500 vehicles daily.
Day-to-day, the supermarket giant’s key objectives are to ensure timely deliveries, maximise fleet efficiency and enhance service to both stores and customers.
The Result
Since implementing Microlise's solutions, Tesco has achieved remarkable improvements in delivery performance, with 99% on-time deliveries for large stores and 96% for convenience stores.
The driver app has ignited a culture of healthy competition, leading to more efficient driving, better driving styles and improved safety on the road. Additionally, the telematics system has contributed to reduced emissions, enhanced hazard perception and improved the ability to forward plan. As a result, Tesco is expecting to see a reduction in accidents and a significant improvement in overall road safety.
“We’re always keen to work in partnership with Microlise to test any new products, and any new innovation that Microlise might have to enable us to improve the service that we deliver to our stores and customers.
“Strategically, whilst we’re looking at multiple options in terms of alternative fuel vehicles while we are operating diesel trucks, it’s really important that we continue to use the Microlise telematics system to continue to improve our drivers’ score, continue to improve the MPG that we deliver and the associated emissions reduce as a result of that.
“Microlise is really important to us here at Tesco. It’s a key enabler for us to be able to deliver fantastic service to our stores and customers.”
- Chris Jones, RTM North & Head of Fuel Logistics
