Pegasus is a computer program that takes all the criteria of the walks in an office and rearranges them geographically for the most efficient delivery pattern, ensuring as far as possible that the walks are all evenly balanced
Would that it were so. Pegasus, or Georoute, as we know it, is nothing more than a device to cut costs by reducing the number of walks in each office. We lost X* walks in our office and all nearby offices report a similar conclusion. And walks are no more equal now than they were before. We still have some that finish early and some that go overtime.








*number witheld to avoid indentification.
