Anonymous (Leading GCC Meat & Poultry Distributor) Case Study
Cold-chain route execution across 19 branches
HublerX replaced spreadsheet-based routing and phone-driven coordination with a connected route execution workflow across 19 branches, improving speed, visibility, and cold-chain compliance while feeding confirmed delivery data into the existing route accounting system.

ESTIMATED IMPACT
Reduction in route planning time per branch
The Challenge
Fragmented coordination, invisible operations
Route planning was person-dependent and executed manually in spreadsheets, relying on institutional knowledge (delivery cut-offs, client constraints, product handling requirements) that was not captured in a system. When planners were absent, route quality dropped and consistency across 19 branches suffered.
"We were planning routes on spreadsheets and briefing drivers by phone every morning. By the time the trucks left the warehouse, the plan was already out of date."
What was breaking
- Person-dependent planning
- No cold-chain validation
- Zero live execution visibility
- Manual, delayed reconciliation
- No cross-branch visibility

How HublerX Solved It
The operational workflow
Centralised Order → Allocation → Route → Driver → Delivery → Reconciliation workflow layered above the existing system of record.
Connect planning to execution
Connect planning to executionSystem-validates vehicle temperature category against product requirements before dispatch to prevent mismatches.
Enforce cold-chain allocation
Enforce cold-chain allocationLive route and stop status, delivery window SLA risk flags, and branch-wide visibility from a single screen.
Operate in real time
Operate in real timeDrivers receive routes via mobile app or structured WhatsApp with acknowledgement, updates, and proof of delivery captured per stop.
Digitise driver execution
Digitise driver executionAll 19 branches, routes, and delivery statuses visible in one unified operations dashboard — giving leadership real-time oversight across the entire network
Centralise cross-branch visibility
Centralise cross-branch visibilityAll route changes logged as structured updates with reason, timestamp, and instant driver notification — fully visible and auditable across dispatch and operations
Structure route amendments

Orchestrating Actions,
Not Replacing Systems.
HublerX replaced spreadsheet routing and phone-based coordination with a connected route execution layer that sits above the existing route accounting system. It unified order allocation, cold-chain vehicle validation, route creation, driver scheduling, live delivery tracking, structured amendments, proof of delivery, and end-of-day reconciliation into one continuous, auditable workflow. Confirmed delivery outcomes are auto-posted back to the route accounting system without manual entry.
- layersWorks on top of existing systems — ERP, email, WhatsApp, and finance tools.
- account_treeHandles operational workflows, not just data storage. Approvals, escalations, execution.
Route Execution Workflow
HublerX connected daily route operations into a single auditable execution cycle—centralising orders, enforcing cold-chain allocation rules, digitising driver schedules, tracking delivery progress live, logging route amendments, capturing proof of delivery, and automating reconciliation back to the route accounting system.

First-Year ROI
Return on investment in the first year of full deployment
“Every morning started with spreadsheets and phone calls — and by dispatch, the plan was already breaking. Today, every driver operates from a live, confirmed route, supervisors have real-time visibility across all branches, and every change is executed inside the system — not lost in a missed call. Preventing even a single cold chain failure before dispatch made the entire implementation worth it.”
