关于客户
Posti provides businesses and consumers with delivery services for letters, direct mail, newspapers, and magazines throughout Finland and 11 other countries. The state-owned postal service of Finland has been operating for nearly 400 years and achieved 2020 net sales of EUR 1.6 million. Posti’s five divisions include Postal Services, Parcel and eCommerce, Transval, Aditro Logistics, and Itella Russia. Through its 20,000+ employees, 1,000 post offices, and 400+ parcel stations, Posti serves 5.5 million locations and delivers 9 million sendings every day.
挑战
Business challenges for Posti included measuring and increasing delivery efficiency, improving operating scenarios, and increasing cost savings throughout the organization. From an operations perspective, Posti needed to measure, plan, and optimize its routes, as well as perform analytic modeling to more effectively react to changing delivery volumes. To start, Posti first had to integrate RouteSmart into its existing infrastructure and improve geographic data such as delivery location information and street data for all of their service areas. Posti’s ambitious goal of 5% targeted cost savings at each delivery center needed to be met by decreasing total travel distances, effectively modeling the proper number of routes based on delivery volumes, and increasing vehicle utilization. In addition, Posti desired to achieve even higher service reliability.
解决方案
Posti built a team of experts and spent time and resources to become proficient in the operation of RouteSmart and ArcGIS. The company was able to integrate RouteSmart into its operations and improve the quality of geographic data. This served as a critical base for the project. RouteSmart also worked with Posti to create custom tools to allow for leveraging business processes, especially for newspaper delivery operations. Taking into account other components, like sorting systems, and defining those processes as they relate to RouteSmart has been a key to the success. Posti also had a need to design routes for changing daily volumes, but other factors, including existing sorting systems, put boundaries on this ability. With RouteSmart customized tools, Posti was able to create modules that could be managed — increasing or decreasing the number of modules per route on a daily basis — while still being able to use existing mail sorting systems.

Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
Case Study
Zonar Takes the Wheel with a M2M Solution
Zonar’s fleet management solutions collect, report and analyze data before, during and after a vehicle’s trip. The company needed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity to enable communication between in-vehicle devices and back-end systems. To deliver high volumes of potentially sensitive information from and to moving vehicles – and keep pace with its rapid business growth – Zonar wanted a highly secure solution that it could easily manage and that had the required national and global reach.
