Operational Impact
When LKQ first implemented Roadnet Anywhere, it immediately identified routes that weren’t being run efficiently. For example, some drivers were making the trip counterclockwise, instead of clockwise. “Roadnet gave us better directions and better route plans,” Hicks said. “Everybody uses it every day — it’s part of our routine now. Roadnet is definitely integrated into our process.” | |
Today, before the drivers begin their day, the company’s ERP interfaces directly with Roadnet to develop an efficient route for each driver, which can either be printed out or delivered electronically via Roadnet mobile. The driver knows where to go and how to get there quickly, and LKQ has insight into where its drivers are located. | |
The company also has insight into improved performance and cost savings. While some regions have remained relatively consistent, one of LKQ’s regions saw a nine percent savings in cost-per-route in the first quarter of 2017. | |
