Franprix : leurs challenges et la solution apportée par Nomadia
Presentation
The Franprix convenience store chain is fully owned by the Casino group and primarily operates in the Paris Île-de-France region. Around 800 stores are supplied with dry goods and beverages from three warehouses located in Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, and Val-d’Oise. Every day, 350 of these Franprix stores are restocked, representing 250 delivery rounds handled by 120 drivers—a demanding pace for the teams who must supply the stores on time.
- Brand founded in 1958
- Over 60 years of existence
- 893 stores, mainly located in the Île-de-France region
- 350 stores restocked daily through 250 rounds handled by 120 drivers
The challenge
Franprix must deliver dry and liquid goods to 350 of its stores, through 250 delivery rounds managed by 120 drivers. Each driver handles 2 to 3 rounds, with each including several store orders. A real headache for the “dispatchers”, who had to manually sequence order preparation and consolidate them on the loading docks, based on each store’s constraints (orders, opening hours, accessibility, location, etc.). Until recently, this operation relied entirely on the deep knowledge of store locations by the teams.
The mobile solution we tested quickly became indispensable! It enables us to pursue two of our key development goals: optimizing team efficiency and improving service quality for our customers.

The solution brought by Nomadia
Franprix initially used TourSolver as a decision-support tool for their logistics master plans. The tool was then rolled out into operational use. Franprix integrated Nomadia’s software with its information system to retrieve job orders and automate route optimization.
95% of the recommendations are approved by operational teams, who manually handle last-minute orders or emergency store deliveries. TourSolver also ensures compliance with store constraints such as opening hours and accessibility, and provides better control over delivery time consistency.
We chose Nomadia’s TourSolver for its ability to calculate distances and truck fill rates based on orders. This results in mileage optimization, time savings for drivers, and lower transportation costs.
