11\/11 Singles’ Day 2020 is here! Here\u2019s how AI & ML tech can help handle delivery peaks<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

November 11 is a special day for all the bachelors (singles)! This day is celebrated as an <\/span>unofficial holiday in response to Valentine\u2019s day and is also a day when online sales volumes <\/span> <\/span>peak! It is the largest online shopping festival <\/span> <\/span>primarily driven by Alibaba.com where sales crossed $1 billion a minute at peak. Although initiated in <\/span> <\/span>China, the online shopping festival is now celebrated across the world but is especially popular in South East Asia. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We did a detailed <\/span>post on the details of the Singles’ Day <\/span><\/a><\/span>last year and as we hit this year\u2019s Big Day, <\/span> <\/span>customers will be excited and busy taking advantage of the offers at hand. But for the e-Commerce <\/span> <\/span>companies and delivery firms, their work will be cut out. This is the testing day when all the systems and processes <\/span> built over the year are put under the stress test. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A<\/span>t LogiNext, we work with several large global e-Commerce companies to help optimise logistics <\/span> <\/span>with the help of technology automation. How do we do it? The LogiNext Mile is a SaaS platform (watch video<\/a><\/span>)<\/span> <\/span>which can be used by enterprises for their first, middle and last mile logistics automation and optimisation. Enterprises can gain<\/span> <\/span>granular visibility through highly customisable analytical solutions by choosing a pricing plan according to their need and scale. <\/span><\/p>\n

The case of Flexibility and Agility<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Delivery<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The modern world of e-commerce which has been accelerated by a decade because of the covid <\/span> <\/span>pandemic is forcing e-commerce companies and enterprises in complementing industries to <\/span> <\/span>digitise, automate and optimise their backend operations. For any large player, it is crucial to build<\/span> scalable systems which are agile and flexible.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It becomes especially important in cases like the Singles’ Day Sale or Black Friday where the <\/span> <\/span>number of deliveries skyrocket. And covid has magnified how uncertain<\/span> <\/span>things can be! Enterprises need to prepare for any such unforeseen circumstance and for such occasions, <\/span> <\/span>pro-active planning and building robust systems is of utmost importance.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The LogiNext answer- AI, ML powered Logistics Automation solution<\/b> <\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"AI<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 2014, we\u2019ve been working with enterprises across the globe to figure out the pain points, <\/span> <\/span>possible areas where a delivery system can break and efficient ways of scaling up (and down) <\/span> <\/span>operations for e-Commerce companies. In this post, we bring to you some capabilities that the LogiNext Mile platform offers and areas which an e-commerce or logistics firm<\/span> has to keep in mind in the current tech-savvy world.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Accurate and precise ETA calculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

     <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Accurate<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    From the time e-commerce came in vogue, expected time of delivery and visibility at various steps <\/span> <\/span>is something enterprises have been working on. But it is only very recently due to the pandemic <\/span> <\/span>that complete visibility has become absolutely critical. LogiNext\u2019s route optimization and <\/span> <\/span>scheduling algorithms have learnt quickly over the past couple of years and are now capable of <\/span> <\/span>delivering precise and accurate ETAs so that your end-customer is satisfied and delighted.<\/span> Always!<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. <\/b>Choosing the right carrier<\/b><\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Choosing<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Choosing a right delivery partner and optimising fleet management is a critical area during high <\/span>v<\/span>olume days like the 11\/11. The LogiNext SaaS platform gives you this capability by looking at <\/span> <\/span>historical data and current trends to help you choose the carrier which will help maintain your <\/span> <\/span>SLAs.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. <\/b>Pack it right and pre-pack?<\/b><\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Packing<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    This is an area of intense research currently. We\u2019ve been looking at parcel volumes (size) and the <\/span> <\/span>way a carrier can efficiently pack parcels to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. Another <\/span> <\/span>trend which is being discussed is pre-packing of all items (before an order comes in). Would that <\/span> <\/span>help in quicker sorting and deliveries? What are the environmental sustainability implications? We’re here to help you look at these questions and chart out the best way forward. <\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4. <\/b>Load balancing and Batching<\/b><\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"LogiNext<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When we\u2019re talking of volumes of the kinds of Singles’ Day or Black Friday, clear visibility of the <\/span> <\/span>entire supply chain and predictive analysis are mission critical. Load Balancing capability helps <\/span> <\/span>one keep track of inventory and is also utilised at the time of deliveries. Batching of orders is <\/span> <\/span>another big area of research and advancement which is being used to improve delivery associate <\/span> <\/span>productivity.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A<\/span><\/i>re these the kind of questions you’re trying to answer? Are you an e-commerce company looking to make <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i>a move towards automation and efficiency? <\/span><\/i>Speak to LogiNext<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
