Kardinal Use case
Route Optimization
Logistics companies use route optimization to improve the efficiency of their delivery services. By finding the most efficient routes, they can reduce the time and resources needed to make deliveries, lower transportation costs and improve customer satisfaction.
However, implementing route optimization can be difficult, especially for complex logistics operations or when data quality is not reliable enough.
With Kardinal, dispatchers and drivers are empowered with tools to plan and run optimized routes and adjust them in real-time based on changes in the real world.
Tour Sequencing
Plan the most efficient way for a vehicle to visit a set of addresses. Sequencing is a good solution when the territory is divided into areas pre-assigned to drivers, as in the parcel delivery industry for example.
Route Planning
Create the most efficient tour plan without restrictions on the number of locations to visit or resources. Our algorithm takes into account your most complex constraints and considers traffic to provide consistent routes that save time and resources.
Real-time
Re-Sequencing
Let the algorithm suggest in real time which deliveries should be made in the best order based on traffic, new pickups or any other unforeseen events.
Real-time Route
Optimization
Let the algorithm suggest real-time changes within a tour or between tours. For example, it can recommend changing the route for a pickup if the driver is running late.
Kardinal's Secret Sauce
Always-on Optimization to Reflect Data and Field Reality
Kardinal’s route optimization is the only one on the market that runs continuously, which allows it to natively process all new information from tools (ERP, TMS), data adjustments and updates from the field (traffic, absent customer, new delivery, etc.).
Business Impacts
Operating Cost Reduction
Optimized routes lead to more efficient resource allocation and reduced use of resources.
Lower Environmental Impact
Reduce the number of vehicles used, distance traveled, and empty trips.
Better Quality of Service
Meeting customer constraints and ensuring on-time deliveries.
