# Customer Case Study
## How Redwood Logistics Cut Delivery Times by 35% with RouteMaster
**Redwood Logistics x RouteMaster**

---

# About Redwood Logistics

- **Founded:** 2016

---

# The Challenge

Redwood was experiencing rapid growth but their delivery infrastructure was not keeping up.

- **Average delivery time had increased 22%** over the past year as order volume grew
- **Route planning was manual** - dispatchers spent 3 hours each morning creating routes in spreadsheets
- **Fuel costs were climbing** - $1.2M per year, with 18% attributed to inefficient routing
- **Driver overtime was out of control** - averaging 12 hours/week per driver
- **Customer satisfaction scores dropped** from 4.5 to 3.8 as delivery windows became unreliable
- **No real-time visibility** into driver location or delivery status

They needed a solution before peak holiday season or they risked losing two major accounts.

# Our Solution

Redwood implemented **RouteMaster**, our AI-powered fleet management and route optimization platform.

- **Dynamic route optimization** - AI calculates optimal routes for all 185 vehicles in under 4 minutes each morning, accounting for traffic patterns, delivery windows, and vehicle capacity
- **Real-time tracking** - Live GPS tracking for every vehicle with customer-facing delivery updates via SMS
- **Predictive ETAs** - Machine learning model provides accurate arrival windows, updated in real time
- **Driver mobile app** - Turn-by-turn navigation, proof of delivery, and customer communication in one app
- **Dispatcher dashboard** - Single view of all operations with exception alerts and rerouting capabilities

---

# Implementation

**Week 1-2: Setup and integration**
- Connected RouteMaster to Redwood's existing order management system (Shipday)
- Imported historical delivery data for AI model training
- Installed GPS units in all 185 vehicles

**Week 3-4: Pilot phase**
- Rolled out to 40 vehicles in the Portland metro area
- Dispatchers ran RouteMaster in parallel with existing manual process
- Identified and resolved 3 edge cases in the optimization algorithm

**Week 5-6: Full deployment**
- Expanded to all 185 vehicles across 4 delivery zones
- Conducted training sessions for all 12 dispatchers and 165 drivers
- Retired manual spreadsheet-based routing entirely

- **Customer satisfaction score recovered** - from 3.8 back to 4.6
- **On-time delivery rate improved** from 76% to 94%

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a strong customer case study?

The best case studies follow a clear narrative arc: relatable customer, real challenge with quantified pain, specific solution, implementation details, and measurable results. Include direct quotes from the customer and specific numbers wherever possible. Vague claims like "improved efficiency" are far less compelling than "reduced delivery time by 35%."

How do I get customers to participate in a case study?

Ask customers who have had measurable success and are vocal about it. Offer to share the finished case study with them for their own marketing. Keep the commitment small (one 30-minute interview) and handle all the writing. Let them review and approve the final version before publishing.

When should I use a case study presentation vs a written case study?

Use a presentation format when presenting live to prospects in a sales meeting or at an event. Use a written format for website content, PDF downloads, and email campaigns. This template is designed for the presentation format but the content translates well to written case studies too.
