Static planning of day-to-day logistical activities: Their previous system involved manual planning, which resulted in a lack of efficiency and agility in the supply chain.
Underutilization of vehicles: The lack of insight into fleet allocation and high dependency on human intelligence to sort shipments resulted in a clear underutilization of vehicles.
Multiple on-ground constraints: Sharing accurate time slots for customers, and negotiating traffic and other road restrictions for on-time deliveries were the most pressing challenges faced on the ground
Multi-day, multi-trips, and multi-drops deliveries: The complexity of multi-day, multi-trips, and multi-drops deliveries added to these challenges.
Delivery reattempts: The manual nature of the previous system often resulted in delivery reattempts, further increasing the cost and time associated with the supply chain.
Data visibility and reporting: Lack of data visibility and reporting hindered their ability to make informed decisions and track performance in the supply chain.
