Background
A prominent express delivery service provider in Thailand needed to streamline operations and enhance efficiencies in their first-mile pick up segment.
The global 3PL company offers various supply chain solutions that range from international freight forwarding to integrated logistics. With presence across 58 countries, it's the biggest international logistics company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It particularly dominates some of the top emerging markets of the world and has local coverage across China, India and Southeast Asia.
Their fleet is a combination of owned and outsourced vehicles, and they handle an estimated 70,000 pickup points per day (~1B Shipments per day), directly from merchant locations.
The logistics company faced several challenges in its operations like lack of load visibility from pick up stops, inefficient truck planning, managing a large number of dispatchers/planners for daily operations, and manual modes of operations. These problems restricted their business growth.
FarEye Route helped in planning and optimization, and recommended better volume utilization of the vehicles. Its AI/ML capabilities predicted the cubic meter (CBM) expected from the customer in advance, based on past 1.5 years of historical data. This helped in planning appropriate load and vehicle type. The complete process was entirely headless. The loop optimization engine quickly and dynamically created efficient routes that helped achieve minimum distance per stop, delivery and pick up on the same route while maximizing vehicle capacity utilization (~97-98%). With real time dynamic routing, drivers get assigned new pick up requests automatically, without the need for any manual intervention. FarEye also offered an embedded BPM engine with low code or no code functionality that enabled them to add new business models within 1-2 days.
