How Quaker State saves time and costs optimizing their distribution

At the beginning of 2020 and with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Quaker State was subjected to a complicated situation in which they did not have enough personnel to plan and carry out the delivery routes of their products. At that moment they realized that it was essential to standardize the delivery procedure of their products: a single process available to everyone that would allow the process to be homogenized so as not to depend on one or more people.

Faced with this difficult situation, they looked for a solution with SmartMonkey. Thanks to the Planner intelligent route planner, they were able to unify processes into one, in addition to generating a single procedure that was available to anyone regardless of their educational level.
