Silver jubilee logistics company offers green logistics solution
4th April 2007
DPS International has marked its silver jubilee in the best possible way – by winning the prestigious award from the Institute of Transport Management (ITM) for the 'Best Vehicle Routing System 2007' ITM Award.
The award was made for the excellence of the desktop solution Logix and the Software as a Service web-based solution, logixcentral. To mark his silver jubilee, Paul Palmer is now incorporating Green features in all of his systems to enable companies to measure the carbon footprint of their fleet and the impact of any fleet changes.
Twenty-five years ago, Paul Palmer left the logistics division of the Unilever Group to set up his own business helping companies become more efficient in running their freight transport operations. From that one-man consulting business has grown a business that developed to be one of the most advanced vehicle routing and scheduling systems providers in the world.
DPS International led the way in the development of state-of-the-art desktop solutions (LogiX) and recently introduced the only web based pay-as-you-go routing and scheduling system, logixcentral. Because Paul Palmer is always looking to provide his clients with fleet efficiency, he has now developed a module to let them measure their fleet’s carbon emissions and the impact of introducing different vehicle types, and reducing mileage and numbers of vehicles.
