Frequently asked questions

Features

The solution leverages multi-dimensional capacity planning by generating optimized vehicle routes with over 50 customizable constraints such as vehicle type, weight, time-based restrictions and many more. Factors such as trucking capacity, cargo type & compatibility, location proximity are also kept into account while optimizing the resource allocation.

Features such as customizable route optimization, order grouping, Backhaul & Reverse Logistics, multi-compartment and cold chain management are kept into consideration to optimize load consolidation and minimize the transportation costs.

This could be achieved by planning backhaul routes with coordinating trips, dynamic route adjustments as well as order consolidation. If you have a specific use case which you want to discuss, feel free to talk to our experts.

The platform supports dynamic route adjustment via real-time data integration. This can be done seamlessly with AI-powered algorithms. It supports dynamic route adjustments based on inputs collected through continuous monitoring of traffic, weather, and delivery conditions. The platform re-calculates optimal routes based on changing demand, vehicle availability, and order priority. Additionally, it can incorporate unexpected disruptions or last-minute reverse logistics opportunities, making on-the-fly adjustments to ensure maximum efficiency.

Pricing

Various factors such as complexity of the routes, volume of shipments, distance traveled, vehicle types required, and any specialized needs such as cold chain logistics or reverse logistics play a significant role in deciding the pricing of middle-mile logistics. . The platform also accounts for constraints like fuel costs, real-time demand fluctuations, and backhaul opportunities to optimize pricing. Additionally, dynamic pricing models may be applied based on seasonality, peak demand periods, or traffic conditions, ensuring competitive and cost-effective solutions tailored to specific business needs.

Users can customize their pricing models according to factors like distance traveled, vehicle type, order volume, and real-time data integration. This includes options for pay-per-use models, subscription plans, or dynamic pricing based on demand and operational constraints. For more information, please feel free to get in touch with our experts.

Yes, there is a nominal fee for leveraging further advanced features such as private map edits or routing restrictions in your middle-mile logistics.

As companies expand their middle-mile logistics, they can adjust pricing based on increased order volume, route complexity, or additional vehicle types. The platform's modular features, such as private map edits or specialized routing, are available on-demand, allowing businesses to add functionality as needed without overcommitting to services they don't yet require.

Speed, Security and Scalability

The platform supports quick processing and delivery times in middle-mile logistics through real-time route optimization, dynamic routing adjustments, and telematics integration. .AI-powered algorithms help avoid delays by factoring in traffic, weather, and disruptions, while maximizing vehicle utilization with backhaul opportunities. These measures streamline operations and reduce transit times for faster deliveries.

NextBillion.ai offers quick adapting to fluctuating demand and expanding networks through flexible route optimization, real-time data processing, and modular features. It dynamically integrates more vehicles, routes, and locations as logistics grow, while its advanced algorithms adjust to increasing volumes and complexities.

This disruption can be supported through combining various features such as advanced route optimization, intelligent route planning, order grouping in real-time.
