As technology has improved in the last-mile delivery industry, routing algorithms have become increasingly powerful and accurate. Advanced data analysis and machine learning algorithms have allowed new route optimization techniques to emerge. This has been great news for courier companies and our customers alike; after all, 72% of global enterprises recognize the importance of route optimization and these new advancements allow us to deliver your products more quickly and effectively.
As a company that is deeply committed to continually improving our offerings, Koorier has made it a point to use state-of-the-art routing algorithms. These algorithms have provided us and our customers with a number of benefits, including:
- Planning routes that account for urban dynamics and traffic congestion
- Improving economic efficiency and reducing costs
- Minimizing delivery failures
- Fostering transparency and trust
- Prioritizing environmental responsibility
Planning Routes that Account for Urban Dynamics and Traffic Congestion
One of the biggest challenges when optimizing urban last-mile delivery is accounting for the unpredictable nature of city traffic patterns. Road conditions can change in the blink of an eye and dense population centers present unique logistic challenges.
By embracing adaptive real-time data, route planning systems can dynamically adjust routes on the fly, thus minimizing delays and reducing unnecessary energy consumption—a win for both the company and the planet. Plus, since deliveries planned with advanced routing algorithms are faster and cheaper to complete, our customers can enjoy lower shipping costs and a higher rate of on-time deliveries.
Improving Economic Efficiency and Reducing Costs
Fuel, labor, and maintenance costs all add up when figuring out how much it costs to run a delivery route—and unnecessarily high costs are passed along to customers. Fortunately, Koorier’s optimized routes help to manage our operational expenses. This plays a key role in our approach to keep costs down for customers while simultaneously supporting environmentally sustainable practices.
Minimizing Delivery Failures
Delivery failures can make routes significantly less efficient—and more costly—to run. Fortunately, we identified some of the biggest causes of delivery failures. Then, we optimized our route generation algorithms to ensure that delivery failures are less likely to occur. For example, our algorithms automatically check for any potential address discrepancies. When potential errors arise, our system decides on the best way to move forward to reduce the likelihood of a failed or delayed delivery.
Ultimately, our delivery optimization features cut down on unnecessary waste and expensive inefficiency. They also improve customer satisfaction and ensure that packages are more likely to get to their destination on time when errors arise.
Fostering Transparency and Trust
Transparency is key to building and maintaining trust with customers. That’s why our tracking algorithms automatically generate comprehensive tracking details and real-time updates. This information reassures customers about the state of their package, sets clear expectations for how Koorier will handle the rest of the delivery process, and ultimately facilitates trust.
Prioritizing Environmental Responsibility
While we take great pride in delivering packages and offering quality customer service, we also consider environmental stewardship to be an important part of our job—especially since the courier industry has not always been environmentally friendly. That’s why we’ve made it a point to use an all-EV fleet and ensure that our algorithms find energy-efficient routes. In other words, when we deliver your package, you can rest assured (and even assure your customers) that your packages are taking an environmentally conscious route through the last-mile phase of their delivery.
