Use Cases

Where AI delivers
measurable results

Specific use cases with proven ROI — from global leaders to emerging markets.

+
01 — Delivery
Dynamic last-mile routing
Real-time algorithms recalculate routes based on traffic, courier load and time windows. Reduces CPO and improves NPS.
JD.com: −30% delivery time

How it works: The system receives real-time data on traffic, weather, and courier workload. The ML model recalculates optimal routes every 3-5 minutes, dynamically redistributing orders between couriers.

JD.com case: After implementing dynamic routing in 2019, the company reduced average delivery time by 30% and cost per order (CPO) by 15%. The system processes over 150M parcels daily.

02 — Warehouses
Predictive inventory management
ML models forecast regional demand and redistribute stock. Solves the "wrong location" problem during regional expansion.
Amazon: −35% out-of-stock

How it works: The predictive model analyzes historical sales, seasonality, marketing campaigns and external factors. The system automatically moves goods between fulfillment centers before shortages occur.

Amazon case: Anticipatory Shipping — the system predicts orders and begins moving goods to the nearest warehouse before purchase. 35% reduction in out-of-stock, 8% increase in conversion.

03 — Peak load
Sorting center load optimization
Flow forecasting + shift planning. Handle peak season without collapse and without overhiring.
Cainiao: 1B parcels/day at peak

How it works: The model forecasts incoming parcel flow 24-72 hours ahead with 95% accuracy. Based on the forecast, shift schedules are automatically generated, equipment is allocated and additional capacity is reserved.

Cainiao (Alibaba) case: During Singles Day 2023, the system processed over 1 billion parcels in 24 hours without disruption. Equipment utilization increased by 25%, unit processing cost decreased by 18%.

04 — NPS
AI delivery slot planning
Model calculates realistic time windows based on load, weather and historical data.
Instacart: +40% slot accuracy

How it works: Instead of fixed time windows, the ML model calculates realistic delivery times considering current load, routes, weather and historical delay data for specific areas.

Instacart case: On-time accuracy increased from 65% to 91%. NPS grew by 12 points. Support tickets about late deliveries dropped by 40%.

05 — Returns
Reverse logistics automation
Return probability prediction + optimal routing. High return rates on marketplaces = significant savings.
Zalando: −20% returns cost

How it works: The model estimates return probability before dispatch — based on product category, buyer history, size and order type. For high-probability returns, reverse logistics is pre-planned.

Zalando case: With an average return rate of ~50% (fashion), the predictive model reduced return processing costs by 20% and accelerated re-stocking by 35%.
