The Challenge

RapidRoute Fulfillment was struggling with slow order processing, manual route planning, and warehouse inefficiencies. According to McKinsey's Supply Chain 4.0 research, AI-driven logistics optimization can reduce operational costs by 15-30% while improving delivery performance. Picking errors, delivery delays, and lack of visibility were costing them customers.

  • Average order processing time of 4.2 hours from receipt to dispatch
  • Route planning done manually each morning, taking dispatchers 2 hours per day
  • Warehouse picking errors at 2.8%, causing returns and customer complaints
  • Last-mile on-time delivery rate at only 87%
  • No real-time visibility into shipment status for customers or operations

We deployed a three-phase AI logistics strategy designed to optimize every step from warehouse to doorstep. Research by Deloitte shows that intelligent automation in logistics achieves the fastest payback periods of any industry vertical.
