Specialised route optimisation software for the dairy industry

The company

OptaHaul is a Spinout from the Zoosh Group, where Gary has worked for the past three years. The product was built along with a customer, when we then identified a significant opportunity to commercialise the product for the global market. To date we have had several product releases, a number of lead customers and a growing pipeline of prospects.

Value proposition

Milk collection planning is a complex task for transport managers and schedulers. Dairy companies can collect milk from thousands of farms, using 100s of trucks delivering milk to multiple factories. There is a wide range of variables to contend with such as fluctuating production requirements, machine downtime, congestion and, crucially, collections are time critical due to the perishable nature of milk.

  • Software designed with dairy processors specifically for milk production
  • Accurate route optimisation providing transport cost savings of 5-20% and back office labour savings of 50%+
  • Scalable and flexible to suit all customer sizes and markets
  • Simple set up in a matter of days
  • ROI of 6-12 month
