WEBINAR TOMORROW : 30 minutes to challenge your dairy transport operation

How often do you step back and ask:
🔹 Are we collecting milk as efficiently as we could?
🔹 Do we really understand what’s driving our transport costs?
🔹 How much transport capacity are we losing at processing sites?
🔹 Are we making enough use of the data we already have?
🔹 When did we last properly challenge how our network operates?

Tomorrow, Kevin McSweeney will look at these five areas, with practical examples from dairy transport operations.

⏱️ How much transport capacity are you losing at the plant?

A 30-minute delay might not sound significant.

But across just 20 loads a day, that's 10 tanker-hours lost every day.

Over 300 operating days, that's 3,000 tanker-hours.

When looking for transport efficiencies, it's easy to focus on routes and miles. But significant capacity can also be lost while tankers are standing still.

Plant intake and capacity is one of five areas we'll be looking at in our upcoming webinar: '5 Areas Every Dairy Transport Operation Should Be Reviewing'

🔎 Where is hidden cost sitting in your dairy transport operation?

It isn't always obvious.

Unnecessary miles
Underutilised tankers
Plant waiting time
Transport rates
Networks that haven't kept pace with changing farms and milk volumes

On October 7th, we're hosting a short webinar looking at 5 areas every dairy transport operation should be reviewing - and where opportunities to reduce cost, release capacity and improve efficiency may be hiding.

We'll use practical examples from real dairy transport operations and keep it to 30 minutes.

When did you last really challenge how your dairy transport network operates?

Milk volumes change. Farms change. Plant requirements change. Haulier arrangements change. Costs change.

Yet transport networks often evolve incrementally rather than being properly reviewed.

With increasing pressure to find new efficiencies, maintaining the status quo is becoming harder to justify.

Join us on September 24th for a practical 30-minute webinar looking at 5 areas every dairy transport operation should be reviewing - from collection efficiency and transport costs to plant capacity, performance data and continuous optimisation.

Dairy transport networks don't stand still.

Volumes change. Farms change. Plants change. Haulier arrangements change. Costs change.

But how often do we step back and challenge whether the transport operation itself is still as efficient as it could be?

On September 24th, we're hosting a 30-minute webinar:

5 Areas Every Dairy Transport Operation Should Be Reviewing

We'll look at milk collection networks, transport costs, plant intake, performance data and continuous optimisation.

**Services Spotlight: Managed Optimisation**

Some dairy organisations want to run optimisation themselves. Others would prefer us to do more of the work.

With Managed Optimisation, our dairy transportation specialists use the OptaHaul platform to regularly analyse and optimise your milk collection plans.

This can include regular route optimisation, seasonal planning, scenario modelling, network changes and other complex planning requirements.

It can be used as an ongoing service or to provide additional support at particularly busy or complex times of the year.

You retain full control of your operation and the decisions that matter, while our team provides the optimisation analysis and recommendations.

**Services Spotlight: Historical Route & Performance Review**

Do you understand how your milk collection network has performed over time?

For many dairy organisations, the data is there - but it may be spread across legacy systems, spreadsheets, route files or even paper manifests.

Our Historical Route & Performance Review brings that information together to reconstruct historical milk collection routes and create a clear picture of actual network performance.

From there, we can analyse route efficiency, mileage and tanker utilisation, and compare what actually happened against optimised alternatives.

It's a practical way to turn existing transportation records into useful insight, and identify opportunities that may otherwise be difficult to see.

**Services Spotlight: Milk Collection Network Review**

Milk collection networks don't stand still.

Producer volumes change, farms enter or leave the network, plant requirements change and hauler responsibilities evolve.

Over time, all of these changes can mean a collection network that was once efficient no longer looks quite as efficient today.

Our Milk Collection Network Review takes a fresh look at the current operation, using actual operational data and the OptaHaul platform to compare existing performance against optimised alternatives.

This can help identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary mileage, improve tanker utilisation and support wider strategic initiatives such as milk valorisation, targeted production and composition-based milk allocation.

Can your dairy plant receive more milk without investing in additional infrastructure?

When transportation efficiency is discussed, the focus is often on what happens before a tanker reaches the plant.

But what happens after it arrives can have just as much impact.

Receiving constraints, unloading times, tanker arrival patterns and queueing can all reduce the efficiency of the wider transportation network.

Our Plant Intake & Capacity Review combines specialist dairy transportation expertise with the OptaHaul platform intelligence to analyse receiving operations, identify bottlenecks and assess practical receiving capacity.

The review helps dairy organisations to:

Understand where delays are occurring
Improve coordination between transportation and plant operations
Assess practical receiving capacity
Support future production growth with confidence

What's really driving your milk haulage costs?

When transportation costs increase, the first assumption is often that fuel prices or labour are to blame.

In our experience, the biggest opportunities can lie elsewhere.

Are hauler rate structures still aligned with today's network?
Have producer movements changed over time?
Are plants receiving milk from the most appropriate locations?
Is operational complexity adding unnecessary cost?

A Transportation Cost Review brings these factors together using operational data and the OptaHaul platform, helping dairy organisations understand not just what they spend, but why.
