Abstract
Efficient routing is essential for optimizing logistics operations to reduce emissions and minimize costs. While off-the-shelf software solutions offer substantial capabilities, our practical experience at DHL reveals specific requirements that these tools often cannot address. Based on real use cases, we present unique challenges such as park-and-loop in last mile mail delivery, the extraction of courier knowledge from past tours for last mile parcel delivery, as well as routing with consolidation options in pickup-and-delivery operations for bundled shipments.
Our insights emphasize the need for tailored solutions to effectively manage the largest logistics network in Germany, ensuring operational efficiency and improved service delivery.
