To optimise their vehicle routing McQueens Dairies have been using a bespoke solution from CACI called StreetServicer. Underpinned by OS AddressBase, StreetServicer is ideal for micro level routing like meter-reading, milk deliveries or refuse collection.
OS AddressBase matches 29 million Royal Mail postal addresses to unique property reference numbers (UPRNs). Because every addressable location in Great Britain has a UPRN, UPRNs remove ambiguity and ensures everyone refers to the correct location. So instead of knowing where the road, house number and postcode is, McQueens Dairies drivers using StreetServicer know exactly where the house is.
Not only that, but the micro level routing from StreetServicer also provides the delivery drivers with information on what side of the road to walk on and when to cross the road. This provides the most optimised journey possible, whether they are in their milk float or they have to park it to carry out the rest of the journey on foot.
