Modern Shipper

“Free AI-powered software like Detrack, Route4Me, and Shipday assist with more effective route planning that results in less time in transit, less gas used, and better coordination of multiple stops in minimal journeys. Plus, optimized routing equates to drivers having fewer hours on the road, which in turn lowers your spending on salary.”

“A Midwest customer of route optimization platform Route4Me uses geofencing to alert drivers when they enter a high crime area to make them aware that they need to pay extra attention to their load. Customers can also draw on the map to create “avoidance zones” so drivers are routed around that area.”

“Every successful company that I know has been putting a lot of effort into getting ready for this,” George Shchegolev said. “The ones that don’t are going to lose a lot of business.”

We optimize the delivery routes with the Route4Me app and email it to our drivers. On delivery day, they also get a hardcopy of the route, plus any special instructions for particular addresses, such as a tricky driveway or a number the driver can call if he or she gets lost.

Route4Me, a company that provides businesses with software to maximize the efficiency of the routes used to distribute products, has seen a massive boom due to the pandemic. It is companies like Route4Me that can help businesses to digitalize their cross-border supply chains, easing the difficulties experienced by people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have proprietary and patented technology, hosted almost entirely on the Google Cloud Platform. Route4Me’s easy-to-use self-service platform scales to support organizations of any size, to significantly increase work efficiency, enable smart workforce guidance, and enables real-time operational orchestration and visibility, to ultimately help achieve a 300% improvement on most work activities, without adding additional people or staff,” explains Khasis.

“Studies show it costs at least 30% more to replace someone, due to training costs, etc.,” said Dan Khasis, founder and CEO of Route4Me, a shipping efficiency platform. As hiring and training new staff is already an added business expense, experts such as Khasis recommend avoiding this route if possible. “Every person you fire will cost at least 130% to replace, assuming there isn’t a massive drop in hourly rates.”

Route4Me provides a route planning and mapping system that lets businesses find the most optimal route between multiple destinations. The platform automatically plans routes for many people simultaneously, creates a detailed route manifest, a map with pins and route lines, driving (or walking) directions, and dispatches the route directly to any smartphone.

Route optimization platform Route4Me now offers its services free of charge to government agencies at the federal, city, and municipality level around the world to help them optimize routes for deliveries. Route4Me can be deployed in almost every country because it is powered by Google Maps.

“A donated software platform, Route4Me, has been instrumental in making the delivery routes to seniors seamless to execute. More than 20,000 seniors countywide receive supplemental food from the FSBC each year, but without the ability to pick it up at a senior center or other location, a delivery plan was one of the first priorities.

“All kinds of things are happening that enable us to do this job. It would not be something the Foodbank could do by ourselves. We’re just so grateful for all the assistance,’ Smith-Meyer said.”

“When COVID started to unravel, we realized that government and federal agencies don’t have the capacity to supply as much as is necessary now,” Shchegolev said. “We just want to generally help them as long as we can.”

One of the top tech trends in logistics is the development of routing software that can allow drivers to plan and optimize their routes for greater efficiency. Software, like what Route4Me provides, can solve common problems such as fuel shortages, traffic blocks, poor weather, and indirect routes by allowing drivers to plot the quickest and the best route for them and their load.

“The beauty is, if you’re starting a delivery business today, and you just have very few stops you could do it practically for very little money. As you scale up and you have more complexity and more things that you want to do, you can do it. And then if you get to thousands of vehicles and thousands of things, we can still support yours,” said Route4Me co-founder George Shchegolev.

“Businesses need to adapt to more deliveries because behaviors are changing,” Shchegolev says. “And many are saying they don’t know how to do it. Our tool is just one small piece of the puzzle … it’s a complicated journey and we just want to support communities and people throughout these difficult times.”

“We have proprietary and patented technology, which can significantly increase work efficiency, and help achieve a 300% improvement on most work activities, without adding additional people or staff,” explains Founder and CEO, Dan Khasis. “Driver shortages existed before the pandemic, but things have gotten much worse. Our technology will help plan the shortest, fastest, and most optimal driving routes, and it will also help track the location and progress of each task and route destination. Gaining visibility into activities completed by employees, contractors, or volunteers is very powerful when every minute of activity helps others.”

“Screwing up your sleep schedule is bad,” Khasis said. “You wake up late because you don’t have to drive and you end up going to bed later and later and you wake up all messed up.”

Supply Chain Matters

Dynamic Route Optimization software provider Route4Me has indicated that the provider will offer its platform services free of charge to all government agencies at the federal, city and municipality level around the world in the interest of public health and safety.

“The goal of Autonomous Supply Chain is to get in front of the problems and decisions rather than behind them while utilizing an advanced technology that can collaborate across the board,” Dan Khasis says. “By incorporating all techniques across different business units and different business entities, the process is streamlined. When this is all put together, we are estimating anywhere from 25 to 50 percent value creation, savings and profit increase mainly because a lot of this process is currently human dependent.”

Dan Khasis, founder and CEO of Route4Me, a route optimization software provider, said strong winds or severe weather can severely impact drones’ capabilities. “How do you incorporate a headwind?” says Khasis. “Is it going to reduce the possible efficiency [of the drone] by 40-50 percent on that specific date? Will you have to go back because it’s too windy, rainy or snowy?”

“On a perfectly sunny day with no wind in the middle of nowhere, there’s certainly many benefits,” Khasis said. Drones, however, may be a better choice than trucks or planes only in certain environments, he continued. “How do you incorporate a headwind?” Khasis said. “Is it going to reduce the possible efficiency [of the drone] by 40-50% on that specific date? Will you have to go back because it’s too windy, rainy, or snowy? All of these factors contribute.”

According to Dan Khasis, founder and CEO of logistics software company Route4Me, the time between delivery and the shopper retrieving the package is “the most vulnerable part of the entire supply chain,” he said. Khasis recommended using crime rates and previous incidents in certain areas to determine whether or not deliveries are automatically tagged as ones requiring a physical signature. “Interactive mobile apps that warn drivers of an area’s risk level when they enter it and a specific recipient’s theft history are helpful tools,” he added.

“Order early,” said George Shchegolev, co-founder of shipping optimization software Route4Me. “As you get closer to the holidays, you just have to recognize that if you’re shipping it a couple of days before, there’s a very high chance it won’t come and it’s not because the companies don’t want to do it. It’s because they’re overwhelmed.”

“Some telematics companies, in addition to the money they make from licensing fees for services, will resell all the tracking data to third-party companies or reseller, then all that data is then resold to other people,” said Dan Khasis, founder of Route4Me, a route optimization software platform that’s growing in the commercial truck market. “If you’re a small fleet, you typically don’t have a lot of negotiating power. If you have 500 vehicles or more, then you can say, ‘I want you to guarantee that my data is not going to be sold,’ and you’re still going to get a lot of pushback.”

George Shchegolev, co-founder and vice president of operations at software provider Route4Me, believes that Amazon is looking to use its Whole Foods acquisition in a very “non-traditional” manner, at least where grocery stores are concerned. “Amazon rarely moves in a straightforward way. They’re strategic thinkers, chess players. They plan ahead,” he explained recently. “Amazon has been able to convince people to pay for its Amazon Prime service by offering free two-day shipping to subscribers [and] that offer will be harder to fulfill as more and more people sign up.” Yet as noted previously, Whole Foods has over 460 stores worldwide – and those stores now belong to Amazon, which can now use their physical spaces as distribution centers for all kinds of deliveries. “These locations offer quality in addition to quantity,” Shchegolev noted.
