The software was implemented ahead of schedule with support from T-Systems Czech Republic, a longtime Quintiq partner. To date, the application has enabled Czech Post to decrease total driven distance by more than 9 percent, exceeding its initial goal.

Czech Post is the largest postal and express delivery services operator in the Czech Republic, processing 7.18 million consignments per day - the equivalent of 444 tons - that are transported by its fleet of 5,000 vehicles. In addition, it delivers more than 200,000 parcels per day that are transported by 2,000 vehicles.

"Czech Post is facing increasing costs, competition, parcel volumes and deregulation. For these reasons, we needed a solution that would help to improve efficiency and reduce costs," said Petr Semerád, logistics network development manager of Czech Post.
