Sterne Optimizes Its Logistics Routes with Nomadia Delivery

Discover how the award-winning SITL Nomadia Delivery solution accelerates the routes of a key player in low-carbon delivery. 

Overview

The STERNE Group is a major player in premium low-carbon logistics, operating in planned, express, urgent, urban, and bespoke transport across Europe and internationally (84 agencies, over 2,200 employees). A market leader, it offers services tailored to critical needs—from industry to healthcare and luxury—while prioritizing sustainability and innovation. Since 2023, the group has been officially a purpose-driven company, committing to long-term CSR actions and obtaining demanding certifications such as SBTi and Ecovadis Platinum, with the ambitious goal of significantly reducing its carbon emissions. 

 

 

When Route Optimization Becomes a Critical Growth Lever

Due to its network density, Sterne’s network is a powerful tactical tool, but it must continually evolve to integrate new clients, contractual changes, employee relocations, or depot moves. Every change must be accounted for as quickly as possible so that each of our 2,000 daily routes—which vary every day—remains optimal. 

The need to scale and speed up our design processes led us in 2023 to seek a software solution to digitize our approach. That’s how we approached Nomadia, whose expertise in intelligent planning and strong GIS background we already knew.
