We have experienced a lockdown of the population, the death of acquaintances or relatives, the fear and collapse of the stock markets, restrictions and closures of businesses and many other consequences of a global pandemic. Combining all this with a booming sector such as logistics and a growing startup has not been easy, but at Hedyla we have done our best to keep up with our clients and offer the best quality of service.

During this last period of the year we have met several significant goals: the launch to production of two new large clients, the acquisition of the first client outside the national territory, consolidating as an Enisa client, obtaining the Neotec grant from CDTI and hiring four new members joining the engineering and marketing team.

2021 starts full of challenges for Hedyla, and some of them include:

  • Team growth and employability.
  • Improvements to current products and creation of new ones (stay tuned, it won't be long!)
  • Development and implementation of a more ambitious marketing strategy.
  • Scalability in the commercialization and distribution of the platform.
  • Creation of dedicated 24x7 technical support.
  • Consolidation of R&D with research profiles.

This year promises a lot for Hedyla! We will give everything to continue growing and helping to improve the logistics processes of our current clients and of those that are yet to come.

Why delivery companies need fleet optimization algorithms?

In the last ten years, e-commerce has changed the way people expect to receive their online purchases. Right now, when a user buys an item online, it needs to be fast, reliable and shipping-free. Therefore, physical business also require fast and intelligent goods provisioning in order to offer better products and services at the desired timing.

Delivery companies and fleet optimization algorithms

For delivery companies, regardless of their size and industry, optimizing their operations is critical for profitability. A recent article from Business Insider shows that around 53% of the transportation costs account for last-mile delivery operations.

Companies spend hours every morning planning their delivery routes with the help of Excel sheets, Google Maps, ERPs or TMSs, which are tools not prepared for fleet and route optimization. It is literally impossible to get a decent optimization rate with the use of this tool and the power of experience, not because of people capacities but due to the complexity of the problem. Delivery businesses have a lot of restrictions such as tiny time windows to deliver, clients’ priorities, types of goods, traffic patterns, drivers’ skills, restricted areas and many more complex configurations that make the problem even bigger.

Below you can find a real example of a daily planning made with Hedyla's route optimizer against the original planning of a delivery company. Whilst the original plan is made by a simple strategy of dividing the deliveries by their location zone, Hedyla’s planning algorithm takes into account all factors to guarantee a certain quality of service together with providing a 26% optimization in operation costs.

This does not only account for cost optimization, but for other many benefits. Below you can find statistics from a real company working with Hedyla’s distribution algorithms:

  • 26% optimization in operation costs.
  • 29% reduction in CO2 emissions.
  • 24% optimization in overall routing time.
  • Reduction of planning time from 80 minutes to less than 10 minutes.
  • 100% accomplishment of all delivery time windows.
  • Removal of errors related with planning (e.g. clients geolocation or missing orders).
  • Overall real-time control and tracing of routes and deliveries.

In this way, algorithms can handle and process information in ways that human dispatchers can’t. Technology like route optimization software attempts to solve the problem of last-mile delivery by getting drivers to the right places more quickly and efficiently.

One of the key points inside supply chain is knowing what happens inside your warehouses. Many companies take business decisions based on intuition, experience and spreadsheets, while at the same time technology evolves by leaps and bounds.

Dashboards, the fundamental pillar of Business Intelligence, have improved a lot during this last few years. Tools like PowerBI, Google Data Studio, Tableau, AWS QuickSight, Kibana o QlikView offer more and more possibilities each day, including visualization improvements, data connectors and integration with Machine Learning frameworks. However, the difficulty to build useful dashboards lies at the gap between business knowledge, in this case logistics one, and tech knowledge.

Nowadays, some WMS already offer the possibility to obtain business metrics or KPIs through themselves, either being Cloud or In-house based. Nevertheless, these tend to be highly restrictive and rarely bring useful value to the business, due to their product’s focus is at warehouse management and not at data processing, treatment and visualization.

As we have stated before, current market BI tools are more and more powerful, but the problem lies at obtaining the key business metrics through these tools with existing WMS data, together with external sources. This is due to warehouses have different types of operational behaviors together with also different data structures, capabilities and KPIs. Additionally, data processing and analysis allows companies to discover and unlock new KPIs that were hidden before.

Why use Hedyla BI for your warehouses WMS?

This type of problems are what Hedyla helps companies to solve with its BI reporting, removing integration problems with WMS and bringing real value to logistics data analysis. And all of this, available on our cloud platform that allows retailers and logistic operators to apply Artificial Intelligence models for different use cases, both in warehouse and distribution.

In our next blog, we’ll write about different use cases that are able to discover and obtain through BI reporting with WMSs.

Here’s our website

During these past weeks, we have been working on the launch of our new website. Both new content and design have been focused on the value que we want to bring to our clients rather than explaining our technology in detail.

Hedyla offers a cloud artificial intelligence platform with two main solutions, warehousing and distribution. These solutions aim to optimize the current operative of logistic companies, not by removing or replacing current processes and systems, but by enhancing them and automating decision making.

These new website explains the features and benefits any logistic company can earn by using Hedyla’s platform. Furthermore, all companies have the opportunity to request a demo by the website itself.

Our purpose is not only to share our product and solutions but to show potential customers, partners and suppliers our mission, vision and values.
