Manual and time-consuming route planning processes led to suboptimal delivery routes, increased fuel costs, and longer transit times. Limited visibility into inventory levels and stock movements resulted in inventory discrepancies, stockouts, and overstock situations. On top of these operational inefficiencies, rising customer expectations for faster and more reliable deliveries, necessitating real-time tracking capabilities and proactive communication throughout the delivery process was another major demand that needed to be addressed.
