Travel delays are common on today’s crowded roadways, where traffic or weather is often responsible for reducing speeds or bringing vehicles to a standstill. But for last-mile logistics companies, travel delays are unacceptable. To meet customer expectations, they must make sure packages arrive when promised. They must find an alternative route when traffic or weather threatens to delay their deliveries.
Senpex Technology is a last-mile logistics company that leverages artificial intelligence to ensure deliveries arrive on time. By analyzing big data on traffic flows and weather conditions, Senpex ensures its delivery routes are always optimized.
“Leading organizations in every industry have discovered that artificial intelligence provides the capability to reach new levels of efficiency,” says Anar Mammadov, CEO of Senpex Technology. “With AI, data becomes insights that empower smarter decision-making. It provides the potential to transform every process into an intelligent process, driving enhanced levels of performance and profitability.”
Senpex is a leader in on-demand, last-mile logistics that serves customers across the US and in Canada with an innovative on-demand delivery platform. It specializes in providing services via mobile apps, its All-in-One Smart Portal, and the Advanced Senpex API — a customized integrated delivery option that automates logistics needs and helps businesses scale to new locations. Senpex’s AI-based framework enables its technology to deploy a unique set of custom parameters for each corporate client, providing personalized solutions that make shipping more affordable and convenient for businesses of all sizes.
Using AI to build smart delivery routes
Route optimization is at the heart of Senpex’s process for meeting customer demands. As orders come in, Senpex’s platform gathers all the details needed to determine the ideal route, including the size of the package, the pick-up location, the drop-off location, and the window during which it needs to be delivered. By leveraging the power of AI, the platform automatically identifies an efficient vehicle and route.
“Last-mile logistics involves getting deliveries from point A to point B as efficiently as possible,” Mammadov says. “By identifying optimal routes, we’re able to reduce the time and the fuel required, both of which increase our efficiency.”
However, mapping out an optimal route in advance is not always enough to ensure a successful delivery. Things can change once drivers get on the road, so Senpex taps into big data to keep deliveries on time.
“Several things can come up that impact the efficiency of delivery routes,” Mammadov shares. “Weather changes can slow traffic on certain roads. Accidents can make roads impassable. During certain times of the day, school zones can impact traffic patterns. AI-powered route optimization keeps tabs on all those factors and more, rerouting as often as necessary to keep deliveries on time as conditions change.”
Anticipating and avoiding delays with big data
By leveraging big data, Senpex can understand and adjust to changing travel conditions in real-time. Its advanced systems remove surprises from the shipping process. Its drivers never need to wonder why the flow of traffic is slowing. They know about delays before they affect them and receive route updates that allow them to keep shipping on schedule.
Big data also empowers Senpex to conduct predictive analytics that further inform its intelligent routing practices. With AI’s assistance, it can predict how weather forecasts or construction projects will affect traffic. Armed with a warning about potential traffic snafus in the days or weeks to come, Senpex is proactive about shifting to take advantage of delay-free routes.
Big data is revolutionizing the business world by allowing companies to eliminate guesswork in their operations. For Senpex, big data is the key to optimizing delivery routes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring customers get deliveries when needed.
