Project summary
What did we solve?
A routing engine that accounts for vehicle capacity, traffic and the delivery window; it cut mileage and late deliveries.
Routes were planned by hand; fuel and delay costs were rising unchecked.
Each sprint ended with a working slice; decisions were made on data, not guesses. The same model can be adapted to your operation.
