BSW Timber replaced decentralized manual routing with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition. The system enabled central planning in Carlisle with full visibility across all depots and third-party haulage contractors. Planners can now sequence loads for inbound and outbound movements on the same vehicle, reducing empty miles and administrative workload while supporting varied truck capacities required by different sawmill operations.

Key takeaways

Centralized planning replaced site-level manual routing for seven sawmills

Route planning time reduced significantly with one team managing all loads

Third-party haulage scheduled with backhauls and successive loads

Visibility across all depots and loads from a single Carlisle location

Fewer planners required while maintaining or improving delivery performance
