Food Distribution
The 6 a.m. delivery that can't be late — every day.
Restaurants and retailers order against time windows, and a missed window is a lost customer. iQlynx keeps trucks available, routes reliable, and service levels provable.
The operating reality
What makes this work hard
Time windows with real penalties
Food service runs on delivery windows; missing them costs service-level penalties and, eventually, the account.
One truck down cancels a morning
Availability is the binding constraint — a 6 a.m. breakdown can cancel dozens of committed deliveries.
Multi-stop density every day
Dozens of stops per route make sequencing quality a daily financial variable.
SLA reporting assembled by hand
Proving service performance to key accounts takes evidence, not assertions.
