How Often Should Food Distributors Do Reroutes? The more effectively your routes account for your current customer mix, fleet makeup, and market conditions, the more cost-efficient you can be in almost every part of the delivery process. And yet, for most food distributors, the idea of rerouting more than once or twice a year seems farfetched. Simply put, distributors should reroute as often as they need to in order to make sure their operations are efficient. This might mean routing every time they take on a new customer account or make a change in their transportation network. But for that to be feasible, the process of rerouting needs to become a lot faster, less frustrating, and less time-consuming. Here's a few strategies for making that happen: -Leverage routing software that's intuitive to use -Use SaaS technology that's fast and built to scale -Codify planner knowledge into your routing system -Combine strategic route planning and daily routing into a single solution -Utilize AI and machine learning To learn more, check out our food and beverage resource hub here: https://lnkd.in/gU_Yfwv6 #logistics #fooddistribution #lastmile

I had the incredible honor of co-hosting this year’s “Women in Logistics” event, organized by McKinsey. It was an inspiring conference filled with meaningful connections and insightful conversations, where we had the chance to network, grow both professionally and personally, and learn from one another. Being part of such an invaluable network of women leaders not only strengthens our individual careers but also empowers us to pave the way for future generations of women leaders. This event reinforced the importance of supporting one another as we continue to lead and drive positive change in ourselves and our industries. A big thank you to McKinsey and to all the remarkable women who attended, making this experience so impactful. Here's to the continued success and growth of this invaluable community! Below are our WIL cohorts from the past 3 years.
