Company Performance Metrics
- William Salter: Managing Director
The Paragon routing and scheduling product was first launched back in 1980 by PA Consulting Group, fulfilling a niche need in the transport industry. By 1987 they had grown to become the UK’s leading supplier of routing and scheduling optimisation software. Following a management buyout from PA Consulting in 1991 Paragon Software Systems was born
and we haven’t looked back since.
In the last 30 years the transport industry has changed beyond recognition. Distribution operations and road networks are more complex than ever before; customer expectations have increased; the retail industry has boomed and technology has advanced significantly. Here at Paragon they have continued to move with the times, enhancing their core algorithms and introducing new products that are designed to meet the real needs of today’s transport operators. Their commitment to sensible product evolution and staff retention has enabled us to stay at the forefront of this dynamic industry. It has also seen their business grow, both within the UK and overseas and as a result they now have over 3,400 systems in use in more than 60 countries around the world and with growing businesses in the USA and China the future remains as exciting now as it did back in 1987.
