Case Study
Customer Service at Scale
With more than a thousand locations and $28 billion in sales, Ferguson Enterprises switched to DispatchTrack to optimize its deliveries. A quick rollout and high adoption rates put Ferguson on the fast track to efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Why change?

Ferguson Enterprises is one of the country’s largest providers of quality plumbing and building supplies—but their on-premises legacy routing technology was making true efficiency and visibility impossible. To meet time windows consistently, they often had to run their trucks at half capacity, and deliveries carried out by 3PLs had to be routed by hand.
How is DispatchTrack helping?

1,100 sales locations adopted DispatchTrack in just 3 months. Now, Ferguson’s 10,000 dispatchers could see all their orders, schedule deliveries, and track delivery statuses all in one place—even for deliveries carried out by 3PLs. Capacity utilization is up and the ability to fulfill last-minute orders is delighting customers, increasing loyalty and boosting the bottom line.
AI-Powered Routing That's Miles Ahead of the Pack
Your customers’ job sites can’t stay on schedule if your deliveries aren’t on time. DispatchTrack’s advanced routing engine uses AI and machine learning to quickly create routes with ETAs your drivers can execute with 98% accuracy. We match the right drivers to the right equipment for the right jobs in a matter of minutes.
- Delight your customers with 98% accurate delivery ETAs.
- Easily coordinate with job site schedules.
- Maximize your delivery capacity—don't run your trucks half-full.

Reduced Return Discrepancies with End-to-End Visibility
In an industry where over-ordering is commonplace, managing returns with visibility and efficiency is non-negotiable. With DispatchTrack, every delivery is tracked in real time and documented seamlessly with pictures, notes, and signatures gathered by the driver.
