Guide for your deliverers - optimizing the last mile

Data-based delivery planning enables precise optimization of logistical processes. The analysis of existing delivery structures creates an optimal target structure that makes routes more efficient, saves resources and improves service quality. This makes delivery more predictable, transparent and economical.

Transparent planning for high-performance delivery processes

‍

Falling subscriber numbers, rising personnel costs and digital transformation pose major challenges for newspaper publishers. Intelligent delivery planning offers an effective approach here: By optimizing delivery routes and areas taking into account all relevant parameters, the distribution of newspapers and magazines can be made significantly more efficient. In addition, the integration of letterbox-compatible shipments in hybrid delivery enables additional efficiency gains.

‍

Specialized software processes help to analyze and optimize delivery structures and ensure reliable delivery quality. The result: higher customer satisfaction, noticeable unit cost reductions and future-proof, sustainable delivery logistics that functions stably even in times of change.

‍

Other key goals include efficient routes and routes, reduced overall delivery time and significantly increased productivity.

Discover the 4 phases

Stage I

An isochron analysis to evaluate the accessibility of seven HUBs.

The diagram shows the stops that can be reached within a specified period of time. The map helps identify bottlenecks and improve supply chain efficiency.

Stage II

Isochronous presentation to analyze the delivery range of 65 retail hubs in Germany.

The illustration shows the areas that can be reached within a specific time. The map helps to identify bottlenecks and minimize delivery times.

Stage III

Excerpt from an isochron analysis

It shows the influence of road types on delivery range. While motorways allow far-reaching accessibility, the range of federal roads is significantly more limited. This illustrates the importance of road types for identifying new locations.

Approach

Schritt 1:

Data preparation and analysis

Data is the basis of our planning.

We assess the quality of the data, carry out plausibility checks, correct data errors, supplement missing data based on our benchmarks, integrate the data from various sources and transfer it to our analysis tools.

‍

The evaluation of the weight and quantity history serves as a basis for the joint determination of a reference period for the further project steps.

Schritt 2:

Analysis and evaluation of actual delivery structures

For the as-is analysis, the current delivery structures are presented in a GIS tool and area analyses are carried out using an ABC analysis.

The aim is to make logistics processes transparent by calculating standardized performance indicators.

In addition, we provide a precise calculation of delivery costs.

‍

In order to take specific customer requirements into account, the processes are inspected on site.

Schritt 3:

Planning the target structure

The planning of an optimal, feasible and realistic target structure is carried out using various optimization algorithms and taking into account various restrictions:

-Means of delivery, size of delivery areas, delivery frequencies

-Logistics times: turnaround times, delivery time, preparation times, delivery time windows, etc.

‍

We also create road segments for integration into the existing shipping system or create graphics of the routes for delivery agents.

Schritt 4:

Development of scenarios

Together with our customers, we develop simulation variants to be prepared for tomorrow's challenges:

-Feeding additional mailbox-compatible shipments into the delivery system

-Centralization of storage locations and development of depot structures

-Switch to environmentally friendly delivery methods (e.g. e-cargo bike)
