Case Study

Chicago Metro Analysis

A sample of how we modeled a last-mile network for a regional grocer.

The Challenge

The client was experiencing high delivery costs in the "Loop" area despite high order volume. Our analysis revealed that service radiuses were too large for the current labor model.

The Model Output

We visualized drive-time isochrones against actual order density to identify service overlap and inefficiency.

Loop Hub Hub 2 DRIVE-TIME ISOCHRONES 10 min 20 min
12% Cost Reduction
4 Distribution Centers
12 Stores Optimized

The Result

By splitting the zone into two micro-hubs, the client reduced cost-to-serve by 12%.
