We’re driving less
and selling more.
When you reach for a PepsiCo product, you probably don’t think
about everything we do to move snacks efciently from the
manufacturing plant to the point of sale. At our Sabritas business
in Mexico, that’s a priority. We’re working at every link of the
supply chain to get more from our equipment, reduce our deliv-
ery costs and save fuel. We’re bundling products at our plants to
reduce handling. And at our distribution center, our new multi-bag
handling process ensures that our large-capacity vans are always
loaded with pre-lled racks containing a full variety
of our snack products.
Our new system now spans seven production
plants, more than 180 distribution centers and over
6,500 routes in Mexico. And our route sales represen-
tatives are seeing the difference. By reducing time
per call and loading time at the distribution centers,
we now have the time to visit four more customers
daily on each route. As a result, we’ve seen sales per
route increase by 29 percent and route efciency
improve by 34 percent. Less driving also means
lower fuel costs, less energy consumption and a
greener environment. With this much success,
it’s no wonder multi-bag handling is catching
on across our entire company.
