Logistics Company Saves $8.3M Annually with AI Route Optimization
Key Results
The Challenge
Rising fuel costs and driver shortages were squeezing margins. Manual route planning was inefficient, leading to 18% empty miles, late deliveries, and customer complaints. The company needed to do more with less while maintaining service quality.
The Solution
Stratafy's assessment revealed 55% AI readiness with gaps in real-time data integration and optimization algorithms. Our roadmap guided implementation: (1) Deployed GPS and telematics across fleet, (2) Built AI-powered route optimization engine considering traffic, weather, and delivery windows, (3) Implemented dynamic load balancing system, (4) Created driver mobile app with AI-guided navigation.
