Flagship engagement

Route performance review

A three-to-four-week look at one depot’s finished rounds: delay minutes by hour, missed delivery windows, and mileage against the planned sheet, then a briefing on the yard.

Who it is for

Operators running van or rigid rounds from a UK depot, typically eight to eighty vehicles, who already keep manifests and want a readable picture of where minutes disappear.

What you leave with

A bound set of charts and a written note naming roads, postcode sectors, and loading-bay bottlenecks. The depot manager leaves the briefing able to change start times, split a round, or speak to a retailer with evidence rather than anecdotes.

Scope

One depot or one named contract. Two consecutive weeks of completed rounds. Ride-alongs on two ordinary days, not a showcase day.

Included

  • Delay-minute charts by hour of day and by round
  • A table of missed windows with the actual arrival, not the planned one
  • Mileage compared with the planned sheet, including empty running after the last drop
  • A half-day briefing with the depot manager and the planner who builds the sheets
  • A short note the operations director can send upstairs without rewriting

Not included

  • Live screens in the cab or a login for drivers
  • Disciplinary files or individual driver scoring for HR
  • Rewriting retailer service-level agreements
  • Hazardous-only or cash-in-transit fleets
Who does the work
Two Content Routehub reviewers based in Glenmore, travelling to the depot. Charts are drawn at the desk after the visit; the briefing is held on the yard or in the planner’s office.
How long
Three to four weeks from the intake call to the briefing, depending on how quickly the two weeks of sheets arrive.
Where
Work happens at your depot and at our desk in Glenmore. We do not require you to travel to the Isle of Bute.
What to prepare
A named yard contact, two weeks of finished rounds, and permission to ride two rounds without changing the usual sequence of drops.
Limits
We decline cash-in-transit work and dedicated hazardous rounds. Night trunking between RDCs can be included only when the same planner also owns the local van rounds.
Fees
From £4,800 for a single depot, travel in Great Britain included up to two return journeys. Extra yard days are listed on the fees page.
Next step
Write with the depot town, vehicle count, and the fortnight you can share. We reply with whether a review will hold, not with a generic brochure.

Order of work

  1. Intake call

    We confirm which depot, which contract, and which two weeks. You name a contact who can walk the yard.

  2. Manifest request

    Completed round sheets, planned mileage, and GPS traces if you already store them. We work with paper sheets if that is what the depot uses.

  3. Yard days

    Two ordinary operating days: gate times, bay congestion, the moment the first van actually leaves, not the time printed on the sheet.

  4. Charts

    Delay minutes, missed windows, and mileage drawn as charts a planner can pin above the desk.

  5. Briefing

    We walk the findings on site and leave a printed pack. Follow-up questions by email for ten working days.
