The Hidden ROI of Routing: How One Click Saved $48,000
Route smarter, faster.

One territory tweak. One frequency shift. $48,000 in annual savings.
Routing doesn’t always need a full overhaul.
Sometimes, the biggest impact comes from one small — but strategic — change.
That’s exactly what happened when a distributor used Wise Systems’ Strategic Planner to model a simple frequency adjustment. No new trucks. No new tech. Just a smarter plan.
The Scenario
This distributor was running twice-weekly deliveries to a set of low-volume, low-revenue accounts.
Drivers were burning hours and miles servicing stops that didn’t justify the frequency.
It felt normal — until they questioned it.
With Strategic Planner, they simulated phasing those accounts to once a week, while keeping service consistent for higher-tier customers.
The Results
That single change — one frequency rule, one set of accounts — unlocked:
- $48,000 in annual savings
- Significant reductions in labor hours and fuel usage
- Fewer overtime payouts
- Lower risk of driver burnout
- Zero customer churn (none of the accounts noticed the shift)
And most importantly — it only took a few clicks to apply.
The Power of Simulation
With Strategic Planner, teams can test “what-if” scenarios across an entire fleet without committing prematurely.
-
Want to model frequency changes by account tier? Done.
-
Curious what happens if you consolidate two territories? Easy.
-
Need to reduce drive time by 10% without adding trucks? Try it first.
No more months of whiteboarding or risky trial runs. Just data-backed simulations — and clear outcomes.
