As the peak supply season kicks off in the U.S., logistics challenges intensify for businesses managing delivery operations. From order management to dispatch, ensuring a seamless flow becomes critical for maintaining customer satisfaction and controlling costs. This is where nuVizz’s Last Mile Transportation Management System (TMS) stands out, providing end-to-end automation, configurability, and visibility to streamline last mile operations during the busiest time of the year.

Automating the Last Mile: From Order Entry to Dispatch

Gone are the days of manual intervention and time-consuming adjustments. With high levels of configurability, users can tailor the system to their specific needs—whether it’s adjusting workflows or fine-tuning dispatch rules based on real-time conditions.

One of the most remarkable features is the platform’s ability to consider complex constraints when planning delivery routes. Besides numerous other delivery constraints, the main  constraints include:

1. Vehicle Restrictions:

Ensuring that routes accommodate specific vehicle needs, such as size and weight limits as demanded by various customers and / or carriers using variety of fleet sizes

2. Delivery Windows:

Meeting customer expectations by adhering to preferred delivery times, adjustable delivery windows, strict delivery times.

3. Dead Miles Reduction:

Optimizing routes to minimize non-revenue-generating miles, reducing empty backhauls, forming meaningful and productive clusters using advanced algorithms.

4. Vehicle Capacities:

Ensuring that each vehicle is utilized optimally eg., finding an optimal cost effective combination from a varying inventory of fleet sizes.

5. Depot Constraints:

Managing limitations at the depot, such as loading throughput and timing that will effect the start times of the routes which invariably impact scheduled delivery windows.

On Demand and Dynamic Demand Deliveries: On demand and dynamic demand delivery requests are becoming increasingly common as the consumers expect the delivery on a “need it now” basis. nuVizz’s last mile TMS advanced algorithms powered by AI & ML automatically adjust the incoming demands to match up with the available delivery capacity and fit the deliveries in the best possible way without disturbing the already scheduled deliveries all in real time. By intelligently balancing these factors, nuVizz’s Last Mile TMS creates efficient routes tailored to the specific objectives of each user. The result? Cost savings, optimized resource usage, and reduced planning time for dispatchers.
