HERE launches HERE Last Mile to remove uncertainty in urban delivery

January 7, 2020 
 
   Las Vegas, CES 2020 -- The last mile is not only the most expensive part 
of the supply chain, it is also a key element of the booming e-commerce 
market that is seeing a rising demand for home deliveries while having 
to deal with an increasing shortage of drivers. Customers have now come 
to expect same day deliveries and accurate Estimated Times of Arrival. 
In order to meet customer demands, fleet operators need a solution that 
combines route optimization and navigation systems. This is exactly 
where HERE Last Mile comes in by pulling out data and services from the 
HERE platform. HERE Last Mile is expected to be available for selected 
customers at the end of Q1. 
 
   HERE Last Mile generates and distributes plans to maximize the efficient 
utilization of an entire fleet of vehicles and drivers, considering 
multiple constraints such as delivery windows and cost. The driver 
application helps the driver find the best route to enable an on-time 
delivery by providing turn-by-turn navigation, with real-time 
information on traffic flow and incidents and proof of delivery. Dynamic 
re-planning helps react to last-minute changes including a customer not 
being able to reception his/her parcel or the breakdown of a vehicle to 
propose the most efficient route at any given point in time. 
 
   HERE Last Mile relies on HERE Location Services as well as on new 
enablers tailored for fleet optimization and last mile deliveries. Tour 
Planning -- also available as a stand-alone product -- optimizes routes 
for the entire fleet taking into account delivery windows, job 
requirements, vehicle capabilities such as capacity and maximum range as 
well as traffic.   HERE Last Mile also supports offline use so that the 
driver can keep navigating and updating the delivery status even when 
connectivity is low, for example indoors or in urban canyons. HERE Last 
Mile is developed to fulfill the requirements of data protection laws. 
Fleet operators have control over their data at every step of the 
delivery process. 
 
   "HERE Last Mile has been built around drivers' needs. While making the 
driver's job easier by providing integrated navigation and best-in-class 
route optimization, HERE Last Mile helps fleet operators compete in the 
demanding market of last mile delivery. With HERE Last Mile, our 
partners can offer a new delivery experience to their clients thereby 
increasing customer loyalty and shopper retention," says Christoph 
Herzig, Director of Product Management.
