Wise Systems developed an automated route planning and execution system for last-mile fleets to optimize the delivery experience for their customers.
Investments in the last-mile transportation and logistics sector have been soaring for companies that are not directly competing with the delivery models of UPS, FedEx and the United States Postal Service.
One of the hottest commodities in the last-mile sector has been the same-day delivery of food, beverage and grocery items. Since 2011, funding for crowdsourced delivery platforms such as Instacart and Uber Eats reached $14 billion, according to Deloitte research.
Other fast growing segments include big and bulky freight deliveries and items with extra-sensitive service requirements like medical samples and supplies.
