• HERE Last Meter Guidance will help eliminate uncertainty from the most challenging part of a delivery journey: the critical final meters
• New offering enhances HERE’s end-to-end route optimization capabilities, which are deployed to over 500 fleet customers
HERE Technologies, the leading mapping and location data platform, today announced HERE Last Meter Guidance, a location intelligence solution designed to help drivers finish deliveries more quickly, accurately and with less guesswork by providing AI-based guidance from the optimal parking location, through the final handover location. HERE will demo the solution, currently in beta, next week at Home Delivery World USA in Nashville, Tenn.
The last mile represents the shortest distance, yet it has become the most complex and expensive leg of the journey, now accounting for more than half of total supply chain costs. Today, it’s no longer enough to deliver to an address. For many fleets, the biggest challenge begins after arrival.
Using AI, automated sensor data & positioning collection and a constant feedback loop of insights from successful real-world deliveries, HERE Last Meter Guidance will establish ‘ground truth.’ The solution will provide couriers with precise guidance on delivery parking, walking paths and the correct building entry point. The expected result is more efficient fuel consumption, more completed first-attempt deliveries and a better customer experience. (....)
