Grupo Petropolis refreshes fleet

Brazilian beer maker Grupo Petropolis is partnering with Descartes to enhance its nationwide beverage distribution operations using approximately 2,900 vehicles

The Descartes routing and fleet management solution has helped Grupo Petrópolis achieve an on-time delivery rate of 98%, reduce overtime hours by 9% and decrease fuel consumption by 5%. These improvements reflect more efficient and sustainable fleet operations.

“To better meet customer needs, we wanted a fleet management platform to enhance on-time performance, improve service in case of returns or customer concerns and advance sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions,” said Luís Moura, Manager at Grupo Petrópolis. “The Descartes solution gives us a new level of control and visibility into our large distribution network. Across 160 locations, routes are now more intelligent and efficient, and we track all routes in real-time.”
