Plan routes, stock and orders for a distribution business without the spreadsheet scramble.
Distributors live on thin margins and tight delivery windows. Xgorithm builds the route plans, stock forecasts and order automation that let your planners and drivers cover more deliveries with the same team.
What we hear from distribution & logistics teams
Routes are planned from memory
Tomorrow's routes depend on one dispatcher's experience, and late changes push the plan off course.
Orders arrive by phone, email and PDF
Someone types each order into the system before it can be picked, which slows the day down.
Stock is ordered on gut feel
Minimum levels in a spreadsheet lead to stock-outs on fast movers and money tied up in slow ones.
Fuel and driver hours keep rising
Every unnecessary kilometre costs more than it did, and driver-hour rules leave less room for error.
What Xgorithm would build for you
These are example scenarios based on problems we hear about often. They show what we would build and what we would measure, not results from a named client.
Example scenario
Daily route optimiser for a regional distributor
- The challenge
- Routes for twenty vans are built by hand every afternoon, and failed deliveries are common when windows are tight.
- What we build
- Route optimisation with delivery windows, driver hours and live traffic, plus automatic updates to customers when a van runs late.
- What we measure
- Stops per route, kilometres and failed deliveries
Example scenario
Order intake for a wholesaler
- The challenge
- Orders arrive by phone, email and PDF, and two people spend each morning keying them in.
- What we build
- An agent that reads incoming orders, enters them into the ERP and flags anything it cannot match.
- What we measure
- Orders entered without typing and time from order to pick
Example scenario
Stock forecasting and reorder suggestions
- The challenge
- Buyers reorder from minimum levels in a spreadsheet and still run out of the best sellers.
- What we build
- A forecast by product and depot that suggests reorder quantities for a buyer to approve.
- What we measure
- Stock-outs, stock held and forecast accuracy
Security and regulation
Transport and logistics firms supplying essential sectors may fall under NIS2. Xgorithm builds with access controls, audit logs and EU hosting from the start, which helps when customers ask about your security.
How Xgorithm handles your dataQuestions people ask us
Do we need a new transport management system?
No. We start from the exports you already have and connect to your systems and telematics once the pilot proves its value.
Can it handle live changes during the day?
Yes. The plan can be re-run when an order is added or a van breaks down, and drivers see the updated route.
Where do most distributors start?
Usually with either routing for one depot or order intake, because both show a measurable result within a short pilot.
