Operations director at McDowells, Joe Balmforth, said: “We have been providing transport services to The Original Factory Shop for many years and the manual planning of deliveries was complex, particularly as the company is constantly opening new stores. Paragon simplifies the entire process and improves fleet resource management too… [the software] guides the deployment of our existing fleet and shows where we need to extend it. For example, it has shown us what new vehicles we’ll need to buy to meet the needs of the new stores.”
