Cadbury Schweppes’ beverage division appointed Transit to assist with an internal response to their transport contract tender so they could assess whether outsourcing was still a viable option, or whether an in-house company fleet would be more advantageous. The output was then used as an input to the Cadbury Schweppes cost model which they could then compare with third party submissions.

Transit assisted Goodman Fielder to reorganise our NSW regional runs and a 20% reduction in vehicles and costs was achieved. Although Goodman Fielder own a few Transit licences, it was good to know we could count on the Route Creation Services team when our internal Transit experts were allocated to other projects. |

Changing vehicle capacities enabled a comparison between the various results to identify the most effective fleet configuration.

I know how much I pay a driver, how many km’s per litre a truck does, how much a truck costs me – but what I don’t know is how many trucks of each size would be needed for the contract, how long each driver would work and how many km’s each truck would travel. Transit’s Route Creation Services give us figures to include in tender proposals that are based on fact, rather than gut feel.
