Problem: Inefficient Delivery Routes

A Boston-area non-profit reduces the cost of heating oil by allowing residents to purchase oil in bulk. When oil prices shot up after Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of new customers joined and had to be added to a complex system of delivery routes.

Solution: Mapping the Members

• We connected their membership database to a mapping service.
• Now every time a new member joins, the staff can look at a map of the member's neighborhood, see where current members live, and assign a dealer to the new member to minimize extra delivery miles.
