About AdelphaTech

AdelphaTech is a leading web and mobile application development firm based in Toronto, Canada, specialising in digital transformation services. One of its projects is DeliveryEase, a medication delivery system that provides an efficient, convenient, and cost-effective solution to deliver medicines quickly.

Operational Challenges in Last-Mile Delivery

AdelphaTech wanted to address certain key operational challenges in last-mile delivery:

  • Dynamic Driver Fleet: Managing a highly dynamic driver fleet with over 1,000 drivers and high turnover rates.
  • In-App Navigation: Providing in-app, turn-by-turn navigation for drivers.
  • Route Optimization: Ensuring accurate order sequencing to prioritize higher-priority orders.
  • Driver Route Overlap: Preventing overlapping of driver routes.
  • Flexible Pricing: Implementing a pricing model that accommodates fluctuating driver counts.

The Solution: Route Optimization for Dynamic Driver Fleets

AdelphaTech integrated NextBillion.ai’s solutions to overcome the challenges and streamline deliveries –

  • By integrating the Navigation SDK into the application, AdelphaTech implemented turn-by-turn navigation within the app.
  • Priority Sequencing enables AdelphaTech to prioritize deliveries by sequencing specific jobs, such as temperature-controlled items, to ensure they are delivered first.
  • Adding time windows for each job allows them to define specific delivery times for each order, further enhancing route planning efficiency.
  • The Clustering API helps manage high-volume delivery areas by dividing regions into distinct zones, reducing driver overlap and improving delivery efficiency.
  • The flexible pricing model accommodates fluctuating driver count as the pricing structure is based on the number of users.

The Impact: Improved Operational Efficiency

The integration of NextBillion.ai’s Route Optimization API and Navigation SDK with AdelphaTech’s app provided a solution that powered reliable and fast deliveries –

  • Enhanced User Experience: Seamless in-app navigation reduces the need to exit the app for external navigation services.
  • Consistent Route Delivery: Planned routes from the Route Optimization engine are consistently delivered to drivers via the SDK, maintaining optimization integrity.
  • Reliable Prioritization: Prioritization and sequencing of orders ensure the reliability of critical deliveries.
  • Timely Deliveries: Optimized route planning ensures deliveries are made within specified times, improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
  • Reduced Overlap: Clustering reduces driver overlap, improving overall delivery efficiency.
  • Cost-Effective Pricing: The flexible pricing model provides a cost-effective solution that accommodates the dynamic driver fleet.

The partnership with Nextbillion.ai enhances AdelphaTech’s operational efficiency, improves customer satisfaction, and provides a more scalable and cost-effective approach to managing its dynamic driver fleet. The solution addresses the complex challenges of last-mile medication delivery, thus building trust and improving user experience.
