Leading UK logistics provider Topspeed Couriers has partnered with Optimize to enhance the efficiency and utilisation across its UK business.
Topspeed operates a fleet of over 200 vehicles across its network, carrying out daily freight collections for onward forwarding and is integrating the Optimize suite of award-winning AI-powered algorithms to streamline freight management across the UK, improve route planning costs, and maximise the utilisation of its growing fleet of electric vehicles.
This partnership will drive significant operational improvements at the company, while also supporting Topspeed’s commitment to sustainability by minimising emissions and enhancing overall fleet efficiency.
Optimize is the UK’s leading pay as you go optimisation provider helping organisations drive efficiency improvements and reducing their carbon footprint. Many Optimize clients are already benefitting from operational savings of up to 30%.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Topspeed and enabling the sustainable development of the company,” explains Optimize CEO Colin Ferguson. “Topspeed has a distinctive operating model, focusing on customer collections for onward consolidation and freight forwarding. Our suite of algorithms is well suited to unlocking efficiency improvements in this fast-moving sector. A recent enhancement of our algorithms, a feature we call MATH (mobile and transient hubs) will be deployed in this instance, giving Topspeed the ability to manage its freight movements, virtually, without the need for a physical hub to sort and consolidate the consignments.”
Cheshire-based Topspeed specialises in the secure transport of high-risk and regulated items.
Gillian Lockley, MD of Topspeed explains, “At Topspeed, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance our operational efficiency and sustainability. Partnering with Optimize aligns perfectly with our commitment to reducing emissions and maximising the utilisation of our growing fleet of electric vehicles. By integrating AI-driven optimisation, we are taking another significant step towards our goal of a fully electric fleet by 2027 and achieving net zero by 2040.”
