The rise in online sales in recent years, boosted by the COVID crisis, is a major challenge to all last-mile delivery companies. The increasing seasonality and unpredictability of the business is putting a strain on structures and people who, on a daily basis, innovate to reinvent processes and systems. DPD has decided to implement the TAO (Territory Analytics & Optimization) software solution to sectorize the areas of its 68 agencies and optimize their routes.
This partnership is part of DPD’s global approach to integrate Data and AI strategies for more responsive and optimized operation management in the short, medium and long term.
The optimization and planning of our delivery routes are at the heart of our challenges. We decided to rely on Kardinal's expertise to make a giant leap forward in these areas, with the objective of improving our customers' experience.
Choosing Kardinal reflects DPD’s ambition to remain at the forefront of innovation to meet customer expectations. “We are thrilled about this partnership with DPD France, which is part of a long-standing partnership between our two companies. We are impressed by the commitment of DPD France’s teams to drive change through innovation, and we are very happy to be part of this key project in the group’s transformation.” said Raphaël de Castilla, CRO and co-founder of Kardinal.
Kardinal’s unique approach to optimizing sectorization is adapted to the challenges of large parcel delivery players like DPD. Kardinal’s algorithms, based on the latest and most advanced mathematics, combine Machine Learning and Route Optimization to build more productive delivery areas that are also more resilient to unexpected events, a critical aspect of a fast-changing industry.
