Kardinal Use case

# National Territory Optimization

Parcel delivery organizations are structured as a network of delivery centers that cover a national territory. 

Optimizing the structure of this network is a major challenge as it impacts the performance of last mile deliveries (costs and quality of service).

With Kardinal, Operations Managers and Regional Managers can identify the best delivery center or sub-depot location and perform multi-depot regional rezoning.

## Multi-depot region rezoning

Let the solution define the optimal borders between multiple delivery centers. Transfer zip codes from one delivery center to another and assess the impact on operational costs, fleet and territory organization.

## Depot relocation

Test how a change in delivery center location would impact resource sizing and operational cost on the same scope.

## Sub-depot creation

Simulate the creation of a sub-depot on the territory of an existing delivery center. Use the solution's intelligence to optimize the fleet assignment and the breakdown of the depot territory.

## Kardinal's Secret Sauce

### **Centralized datalake**

All data is pooled at country level, which makes it easy to adjust the scope of the network's delivery centers independently.
