Catch the recording of our AI in logistics webinar with practical use cases and examples of different data science techniques on route optimization.

A common situation in higher density urban routing is that route planning algorithms have a hard time accounting for parking. While a certain sequence of stops might be the most efficient to an algorithm based on traffic, a driver in the real world wants to park as few times as possible even if it means delivering more orders on foot.

As we bid farewell to 2023 (no returns accepted!), Adiona takes pride in reflecting upon a year marked by growth, innovation, collaboration, and a fair bit of recognition. Join us on a journey through the key milestones that have shaped our narrative and positioned us as leaders going into 2024.

Reducing Fuel Costs and Other Benefits of Route Optimization

The pandemic has caused the delivery industry to see a sudden increase. In order to cope up with the high volumes of orders, the logistics industry has to be more active to improve overall delivery performance. For this, a lot of companies have been utilizing logistics software to provide faster delivery.

You undoubtedly have an excellent notion of how supply chain visibility helps businesses like yours. But exactly what benefits does it offer?

What is Route Optimization and Why is It So Important?

The pandemic has changed a lot of things for the world. We can say that the entire world is optimising as per the new COVID-19 era. Similarly, the production and delivery strategies also demand efficient delivery route optimisation to meet the customer needs.

Being in the supply chain business is not an easy affair. You need to ensure that your delivery operations are well-strategized and efficiently executed to thrive in the hyper-competitive market.

You can visualise the supply chain as a river that is flowing from one point to another. As the running water finds its way to the destination, items in the supply chain also get to their delivery point.

Fuel and infrastructure costs are a crucial component of comparing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV) are introduced into a logistics and delivery fleet. But those costs are often still smaller than the overall labour to drive the fleet, so looking at route planning and labour costs of the overall network is a critical part of planning a ZEV fleet transition. You can now do this easily with Adiona's new ZEV TCO optimization tools.

This video will show you how Adiona’s platform can be used to support microfulfilment centers, pickup/dropoff points such as lockers, ghost kitchens, electric vehicles and sidewalk vehicles, and hybrid fleets including bikes, walkers, and even autonomous mobile robots and drones.
