Kardinal Use case

# Fleet Sizing

Fleet optimization is a hot topic in the last mile industry. Consumers are now increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of deliveries.

Carriers are working to define their optimal fleet mix from an environmental perspective and to include new vehicle types in their fleet, such as electric vehicles that have their own constraints.

With Kardinal, Operations Managers and Regional Managers can identify the best fleet mix for a territory and easily simulate fleet conversions to greener vehicles.

## Optimal fleet mix

Set up your different vehicle types and let the algorithm define the optimal mix and the areas that should be covered by each vehicle. Compare the operational performance of your different options and choose the one that best meets your business objectives.

## Fleet conversion

Simulate the impact of converting your fleet to electric, in whole or in part, with or without letting the algorithm redefine the territory. Get the operational (costs, CO2) and organizational (working time, route reliability) impacts.

## Kardinal's Secret Sauce

### **Holistic optimization for maximum performance**

The sectorization optimization algorithm solves both the problem of selecting the best fleet and assigning the best routes at the same time, which is very complicated to solve mathematically and unique on the market.
