CASE STUDY / GILBARCO VEEDER-ROOT – MACHINERY AND PLANT ENGINEERING

Gilbarco Veeder-Root, the leading petrol forecourt equipment and services provider in the UK – has learned that route planning software really can work. Enter FLS - FAST LEAN SMART and get to know its particular brand of automation.

Major petrol station brands, supermarket chains and independent dealers up and down the country rely on Gilbarco. By extension, so do millions of motorists. Gilbarco Veeder-Root is charged with maintaining the equipment it provides by an extensive national network of field engineers. With so many forecourts to look after, Gilbarco Veeder-Root's operation has to be efficient and smart.

Until now, the smartest way of doing things has been manual. Gilbarco Veeder-Root had tried automation years ago. It implemented a scheduling programme that didn't prove to be intelligent enough to plan routes that reflected the real-life business environment. Nor was it flexible enough to react to changes in that environment which include 2 hour responses.
