Grupo Bimbo finds Intergis Mobile Resource Management Solution fully baked

Established in Mexico in 1945, Grupo Bimbo (BEAM-bo) has grown into one of the world’s leading baking companies. With more than 100 brands and over 5,000 products, Bimbo currently operates in 17 countries around the world. Part of Bimbo Bakeries USA’s (BBU) success comes from carefully managing every aspect of the business with a focus on quality, innovation and customer service.

Continuous improvement is a hallmark of the Grupo Bimbo (BBU) philosophy, and it constantly seeks ways to further improve customer service while controlling costs. BBU’s research revealed that implementing a Mobile Resource Management (MRM) solution for its fleet and mobile workforce would benefit the organization in its daily objectives, while delivering potentially significant savings. With multiple distribution centers and vehicle fleets traveling across state lines and into remote areas, Intergis’ solution-- the Vericom MRM Solution was the ideal choice for BBU.

BBU relies on the Intergis solution’s improved timecard management to track employee hours and job times, ensuring payroll accuracy. With a fleet as large as BBU’s, automation of driver documentation, mileage, timecard, and other eliminated paperwork has delivered hundreds of man-hours in increased productivity each week. And with a vast international territory to serve on a daily basis, the routing software is invaluable to the formulation of the most efficient delivery routes.

The increased visibility offered by the Intergis solution has been important to BBU in tracking its fleet, but also in monitoring activity at sister plants, where real-time adjustments to schedules and routes can be made to maximize productivity. Increased visibility has also enabled BBU management to make staffing decisions more accurately, leading to even greater productivity gains.

“The Vericom MRM system helps us meet our goal of being one of the world’s leading baking companies by evaluating and improving every process, every day,” reports Mr. Diez, corporate director for shipping and product control.

In fact, the savings going straight to Grupo Bimbo’s bottom line more than paid for the solution early on, but the savings continue to compound year-after-year.
