METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING LAST-MILE PRODUCT DELIVERY USING CROWD-SOURCED DELIVERY-SERVICE PROVIDERS

Abstract

A method and system for last-mile product delivery is disclosed. The system allows each delivery-service provider of a platform of crowd-sourced delivery-service providers, to register vehicle specifications and delivery preferences including maximum delivery per trip. The system receives delivery orders within a predetermined time window, and dynamically determines delivery regions based on real-time factors of the delivery orders. Compatibility scores are determined by matching product handling requirements of the delivery orders with registered vehicle specifications. Multiple sequential delivery tours for individual delivery-service providers are generated within the single time window based on delivery-service provider specified maximum deliveries per trip, the compatibility scores, and the dynamically determined delivery regions. Finally, delivery assignments to the selected delivery-service providers are triggered based on the generated delivery tours.
