🚛 “Your operation is fine. It’s OK.”

But “OK” doesn’t protect your future.

With growing demand and constant pressure, OK quickly becomes a limitation:
• Systems that can’t scale when volumes spike
• Decisions based on outdated data
• Performance that stalls instead of improves

🚛 “Your route planning is OK.”
OK planning gets the job done. But at what cost?

Behind the scenes, OK planning means:

Drivers are under pressure from unrealistic schedules

Reactive changes disrupt the day

Missed opportunities to improve utilisation

An “OK” logistics operation might feel like a win… but it could actually be your biggest risk.

Descartes is featured in Transport & Logistics highlighting an issue many operators don’t realise they have, until disruption hits.

Rising fuel costs, infrastructure strain, and driver shortages are already tightening margins. At the same time, customer tolerance is shrinking fast: recent research shows 66% of consumers have experienced delivery issues, rising to 79% in the under-35 age group.

The uncomfortable truth? “Good enough” today can quickly become unprofitable tomorrow.

The article explores why leading operators are shifting from reactive planning to stress-testing their delivery networks before cracks appear and what that means in practice.

If your operation feels “OK,” it might be time to ask: what aren’t you seeing yet?

👉 Worth a read before the next disruption exposes it.

🚛 “Your delivery planning is OK today”
And OK gets you through the day.

But what about tomorrow?

Behind “OK” planning, we often find:
- Routes that don’t flex with demand
- Extra miles that erode margin
- Plans that rely too heavily on manual effort

See how moving beyond OK planning helps you reduce cost, improve efficiency, save fuel and stay in control as things change.

Because if it’s OK today… it won’t be tomorrow.

🚛 “Your routing works. It’s OK.”
But “OK” isn’t optimal.

OK routing often hides:
Empty miles that eat into profit
Inefficient sequences that waste time
Routes that can’t adapt when things change

We’ll show you how intelligent optimisation turns “OK” into measurable performance gains.

🚛 “Your delivery operation is OK.”

But OK won’t keep you ahead.

With rising fuel costs, driver shortages and unpredictable demand, “good enough” quickly becomes an issue:

Inefficient routes increase fuel spend
Underutilised capacity limits growth
Manual planning slows you down

📍 Meet us at Road Transport Expo (RTX) | 30 June – 2 July 2026
Discover how intelligent routing and data-led modelling help you stay ahead of change, not react to it.

Because in a volatile world, OK isn’t future-ready.

OK is not OK.

Descartes is in the news 🚨

Featured in IT Supply Chain, this latest announcement highlights how AI is moving from theory into real-world fleet analytics. This latest iteration from Descartes uses ex*****on data to uncover what most operations teams know but haven’t been able to act on.

If you’re responsible for delivery performance, here’s the uncomfortable truth: the biggest inefficiencies are often already in your data, but you’re just not seeing them yet.

That’s exactly what the new Fleet Data Intelligence platform is designed to change. From AI-driven insights to measurable gains in route density and service performance, it’s a glimpse into the future and where logistics is heading next.

🚛 “Your delivery performance is OK.”

It seems fine… until it isn’t.

OK delivery means:

Inaccurate ETAs
Customers left guessing and in the dark when plans change
Missed opportunities to improve efficiency and save fuel

And in today’s environment, that’s a risk you can’t afford.

📍 Road Transport Expo (RTX) | 30 June – 2 July 2026
Come and see how better visibility, smarter planning and real-time optimisation take you from OK to exceptional.

Your customers don’t expect OK; they expect certainty.

Driving productivity and sustainable growth in field service operations
Great to see how Simply Washrooms | B Corp™ is transforming its service delivery with smarter route planning and fleet management.

By leveraging Descartes’ solution, they’re now able to:
âś… Optimise daily schedules across ~40 field operatives
âś… Service ~6,000 customer sites more efficiently
âś… Reduce planning time, mileage, and operational costs
âś… Improve service consistency as they scale
âś… Support sustainability goals with fewer miles and emissions

The result? More capacity, better customer experience, and growth.

As Andrew Shelley, Managing Director at Simply Washrooms, puts it:
“Strong customer service sits at the heart of what we do… we need the right technology to help our teams plan and execute services efficiently.”

This is a great example of how digitising and optimising route planning can turn complex, manual scheduling into a scalable, repeatable process - unlocking productivity and enabling better use of existing resources.
