Abstract:

What models do you need to run an on-demand logistics operation? Whether you’re building apps for delivery, mobility, or ecommerce, certain decision models are fundamental to business operations: forecasting, scheduling, and routing. In this talk, we’ll discuss both operational and technical aspects of these models in production environments. We’ll also look at some developing trends in the on-demand world and case studies.
