Insights
Descartes' routing solution delivers tangible operational improvements for Grupo Petr贸polis with 98% on-time delivery rate and significant cost reductions.
Descartes Systems Group's implementation at Grupo Petr贸polis represents a significant operational achievement in beverage distribution logistics. The deployment across a massive 2,900-vehicle fleet has yielded three key performance improvements: a
These metrics matter substantially in beverage distribution where margins are typically thin and logistics costs represent a major expense. The
The real-time monitoring capabilities Descartes provides addresses a critical pain point in beverage distribution: route deviations. When drivers go off-route, it often leads to cascading delivery delays and customer service issues. The immediate deviation alerts enable responsive management that preserves delivery schedules.
The improvement in product traceability also addresses regulatory compliance requirements that have become increasingly stringent in beverage distribution. By optimizing routes with real-time traffic data, Descartes helps Grupo Petr贸polis maintain high service levels while simultaneously reducing environmental impact 鈥� a difficult balance that most distributors struggle to achieve without advanced routing technology.
SÃO PAULO and ATLANTA, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Brazil鈥檚 Grupo Petr贸polis is using Descartes鈥� routing and fleet management solution to enhance its nationwide beverage distribution operations using approximately 2,900 vehicles. The Descartes solution helped Grupo Petr贸polis achieve an on-time delivery rate of
鈥淭o better meet customer needs, we wanted a fleet management platform to enhance on-time performance, improve service in case of returns or customer concerns and advance sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions,鈥� said Lu铆s Moura, Manager at Grupo Petr贸polis. 鈥淭he Descartes solution gives us a new level of control and visibility into our large distribution network. Across 160 locations, routes are now more intelligent and efficient, and we track all routes in real-time. If a driver goes off a planned route, the system immediately signals the detour so our team can respond quickly, which is critical to providing reliable service. And, because we can act with much more delivery precision and agility, we have lowered fuel and maintenance costs, gained visibility into idle vehicles and overcome challenges with product and delivery traceability.鈥�
Part of Descartes鈥� routing, mobile and telematics solution suite, the Descartes routing and fleet management solution helps retail food and beverage distribution companies, like Grupo Petr贸polis, manage routes for optimal efficiency and minimize the impact of unforeseen events on customer service levels, mileage and costs. By continually re-optimizing route plans based on real-time traffic data and other variables, the solution enhances customer service by improving on-time delivery performance, lowers mileage by guiding drivers through shorter route paths, and decreases total route time and costs by helping drivers navigate through heavy traffic with alternate routes and stop sequences. The solution also monitors planned vs. actual deliveries, product traceability, journey control (including lunch breaks, overnights and overtime), route deviations, unplanned stops and departure or arrival delays.
鈥淥ur collaboration with Grupo Petr贸polis highlights how advanced routing solutions can help transform complex distribution environments into highly efficient, sustainable, and customer-focused logistics operations,鈥� said Douglas Alves, Sales Executive at Descartes. 鈥淎s food and beverage distributors look for opportunities to enhance last mile performance, our solution suite can help rebalance distribution networks; improve route productivity, execution and sustainability; respond more dynamically to demand; and accelerate cash flow with electronic proof-of-delivery.鈥�
