Milk-run Pick-up Scheduling

Milk-run scheduling replaces individual supplier deliveries with planned, multi-stop vehicle routes that consolidate pick-ups from several suppliers in a single trip. Ghatge Logistics handles all aspects of route design, vehicle coordination, pick-up scheduling, and transit documentation. The result: dramatically improved vehicle utilisation, lower per-unit transport costs, predictable inbound flows, and zero-discrepancy documentation for every consignment.

Our Process

How It Works

A structured, proven process that delivers consistent results — every time.

Route Design & Supplier Clustering

We analyse your supplier locations, volumes, and dispatch frequencies to design optimised multi-stop milk-run routes that maximise vehicle fill rates.

Schedule Coordination

Pick-up windows are agreed with each supplier and integrated into a master schedule, ensuring vehicles arrive when material is ready and wait time is minimised.

Transit Documentation

Each milk-run is accompanied by complete, accurate transit documents — GRN, delivery challans, and consignment notes — eliminating discrepancies at inbound receipt.

Delivery & Reconciliation

Material is delivered to your plant on schedule. Proof-of-delivery is captured and reconciled against purchase orders, closing the loop with your procurement team.
