Express Delivery Services and Postal Service

Providing express delivery services isn’t easy. To safely and securely deliver these packages in a time-sensitive manner, you’ll need well-designed and well-organized dispatching rules and processes.

In many ways, the pickup and drop-off problems you’ll encounter are the same as last mile delivery problem. However, dispatching is different. Postal service or express deliveries assume you move your packages from one of your infrastructure’s hubs to the next hub by truck, rail, ship or plane. Differing priorities may require you to use different channels, within defined timeframes, that each have a different cost.

You must design your dispatching rules to satisfy all those requirements. You’ll also need to account for postal traffic, size of local and international infrastructure and fierce competition to find optimal, consistent rules and their dynamic analysis and adjustment.
