The Challenge

The client was processing more than 100k service and product deliveries annually, through 600+ Technicians. To maintain operations effectively, they needed to track and report on the performance metrics of its field service team and processes.​

The last mile can be very inefficient due to factors like varying traffic patterns, delivering to locations that may not be reliable, changing routes, and the general cost of transportation. There is a level of unpredictability that needs to be dealt with and that can be done through automation, big data, and analytics.​

In order to streamline and create intelligence in the last mile delivery operations, vast volumes of data needed to be captured, stored and analyzed. The datasets are complex with information like route details, latitude/longitude of routes taken, SLAs, multiple order statuses and milestones and Proof of Delivery information.
