Challenge
T&T Produce is a wholesale distributor supplying the SouthEast region of the United States with fresh produce and dairy products. The company distributes to a diverse clientele including restaurants, DOD schools, healthcare facilities, government institutions, commissaries, cafeterias, and food management services. T&T is responsible for covering a 250 mile radius of distribution from Chattanooga, Tennessee—including major cities like Knoxville, Johnson City, Tuscaloosa, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Huntsville etc.
The existing route planning system of T&T was reliant on drivers manually inputting stops, departures, and arrivals. This not only left room for error, but provoked a need to take the onus away from the driver and enable capabilities that showed management what was really going on with day-to-day deliveries .
With continuously shifting fresh produce and dairy demand and an otherwise unreliable routing and accountability system, T&T was in need of software that offered real-time delivery performance and all of the accompanying benefits.
“The entire GreenMile team has been a GREAT partner to work with and has gone above and beyond our expectations. We are still fine tuning a lot of the data and customer information, but we believe it will help our outbound operations tremendously.”
Tanner Buchanan, Director of Operations
Solution
Introducing GreenMile into the daily process of T&T Produce Company had to be seamless. The integration with the existing routing solution created a more congruent software that was easy to use and made data transfers into their ERP effortless. The dispatching team of T&T gained newfound management capabilities, like access to Geofences and accurate arrival and departure data—opening up layers of transparency.
