Boosting trade logistics with AI
Logistics Sector
AI, Route Optimization & Development
Logistics optimization is an essential component for efficiency in the transportation and distribution sector. At Logixs, we are faced with the challenge of transforming route planning to maximize time savings and reduce operating costs. Thanks to our Generative Artificial Intelligence solutions, we have managed to enable commercial logistics to achieve efficiency and precision improvements, allowing intelligent route planning that dynamically adapts to daily conditions and needs.
Our approach was not only to improve routes, but to build a robust solution that integrates data sources, advanced optimization, and compatibility with management tools to facilitate subsequent analysis and administration.
Challenges
- Verification of distances and routes by creating graphs with the customer database, optimizing the analysis of route options.
- Constant recalculation of routes and adaptation to changes in real time, with connection to Microsoft PowerBI for data extraction and use of Open AI for decision-making support.
- Route optimization to reduce operating costs, with integration of itineraries into sales representatives' Outlook calendars.
- Seamless integration of route data with customer management tools, improving sales team coordination.
Key Success Factors
Efficient GenAI models
Accuracy in geolocation and data normalization
Infrastructure automation and scalability
Secure integration with enterprise tools
Methodology
Training and demonstration:
We show practical examples of AI applied to route optimization, looking for cases that generate tangible value for the client.
Design Thinking
We identify and select specific needs through Design Thinking, ensuring personalized solutions focused on the end user.
POC Implementation
We develop and deploy a Proof of Concept (PoC) in a controlled environment, validating the effectiveness of the solutions before full implementation.
Iteration in phases
We base the project on iterative phases, allowing us to analyse results at each stage and make continuous improvements based on the progress made.
Results
"The implementation of GenAI took logistics planning to a new level of efficiency and accuracy. From address standardization and sales route optimization to integrating itineraries into sales reps' Outlook calendars, each process was automated and customized.
This transformation allowed for reduced planning times and improved route accuracy, achieving a 40% decrease in operating costs and optimizing resource use."
