British Lead is to use Roadnet™ from 121 Systems to plan its UK wide delivery and collection routes.
British Lead produce new lead sheeting – with each sheet being almost 100% recycled. The lead sheeting is refined using scrap materials. These resources are collected from scrap collection points or demolition sites. Once new lead sheets have been produced, British Lead will use Roadnet to optimise their efficiency when delivering finished goods to their customers.
As part of the Eco Bat Technologies group - the world’s largest recyclers of lead - the company is keen to boost its routing and scheduling.
The company has been recycling scrap lead since 1932 and the new planning software is likely to be an important part of its future. Thanks to Roadnet’s routing and scheduling technology, British Lead’s fleet of vehicles can be routed more effectively from its four depots. This will lead to a reduction in the amount of time spent on planning routes.
It’s not only the bottom line that will benefit from the added routing and scheduling muscle provided by Roadnet. The software will allow the company to manage the movement of lead - from the collection of scrap materials to the delivery of finished goods to customers. Environmental impacts play a major part in British Lead. Having been accredited an ISO14001 for their environmental engagement reflects this priority.
With the use of Roadnet from 121 Systems, it looks as though British Lead will continue to lead the way in its industry.
