VRP Route Optimisation for Cement Silo Deliveries

Backhauling routes
Real-time re-routing
Constraint-aware scheduling

The Challenge

Trucks returned empty after delivery, wasting load capacity and driving up cost per tonne-kilometre. Static rules and dispatcher-dependent decisions generated fleet inefficiencies. Inability to adapt to real-time events caused SLA breaches and site penalties.

What We Built

A VRP optimisation system dynamically generates multi-stop routes that minimise empty kilometres through intelligent backhauling. Constraint management automatically handles time windows, crane times and silo compatibility across the full fleet, with continuous re-optimisation as conditions change.

Operational Impact

Increased daily services per truck. Strict SLA compliance with delivery windows. Reduced fuel consumption, vehicle wear and CO₂ through optimised route geometry.
