Improving regional freight reliability for a fast-moving FMCG network

We aligned lanes, carriers and control-tower reviews to reduce delay variability and improve vehicle utilization on recurring replenishment routes.

Client brief

An FMCG company faced inconsistent turnaround across north and west India because carrier allocation, loading discipline and shipment visibility varied by lane.

  • Recurring replenishment lanes had poor schedule discipline.
  • Partial loading decisions raised cost per case moved.
  • Delivery updates often came late, affecting downstream planning.

Dellexo operating model

We grouped lanes by frequency and urgency, mapped a preferred carrier pool, and built a control-tower cadence that tracked vehicle readiness, transit and unloading.

  • Fixed weekly lane plans combined with fallback carrier coverage.
  • Load consolidation decisions backed by fill-rate thresholds.
  • Milestone reporting from placement to POD closeout.
1

Lane planning

Shipment demand is mapped into recurring lanes, frequency buckets and backup capacity options before dispatch windows open.

2

Vehicle placement

Preferred carriers are locked early, with exceptions escalated to alternate partners if readiness slips.

3

Loading and seal control

Loading plans are validated against quantity, route and handling needs to minimize damages and misrouted stock.

4

Transit monitoring

The control tower tracks milestone adherence, halt duration and unloading coordination until POD is closed.
