Singularity Infinity uses mathematics to optimize logistics efficiency
As consumers' demand for immediate product availability increases, logistics has become the final battlefield in many industry competitions. According to the latest trend report on the "Last Mile Delivery Market" released by Allied Market Research, the compound growth rate is 8.13%, and the overall market is expected to reach US$288.9 billion by 2031. In the future, Taiwan's annual total output value will also exceed 10 billion. In an environment where labor costs are rising, the logistics industry needs to get rid of the constraints of manpower and rely on the power of technology to improve logistics efficiency in order to develop further.
Singularity Infinity is a team of mathematicians who use mathematics to solve the limitations of human scheduling. They also use actual industry experience and consider the workflow and service processes of corporate operations to determine the final result, rather than simply pursuing the optimal mathematical solution. In addition to helping companies reduce logistics costs and improve logistics efficiency, such tools are also consistent with the current ESG sustainable development issues that everyone is concerned about, reducing the carbon footprint of the transportation process.
Logistics-related industries cover a wide range of people’s daily lives, such as Uber, freight and passenger transport, food delivery, e-commerce home delivery, gas delivery, and fresh food delivery, and the delivery process is the most important part of the consumer experience. Delivery optimization is a very difficult subject. In the past, before there were good optimization tools, operators would usually continue to expand their fleets to solve delivery problems arising from business growth. However, in addition to high capital expenditures, they are now facing problems with labor costs and labor shortages, making it difficult to keep up with the growth rate of demand. With the construction of current mapping systems, fleet management, road condition prediction and other systems, companies can increase transportation capacity through technology, reduce capital expenditures, and reduce carbon emissions due to increased business, so that the entire process can be more in line with the spirit of ESG.
In addition to the last mile logistics that we often see, large-scale logistics also have the first mile, middle mile and other businesses. So imagine that a logistics operator faces issues every day, such as how many vehicles, how many drivers, how much cargo, the size of each cargo, whether there is a limit on the delivery time, whether the driver allocation is fair, etc. In addition, these variables are changing all the time, so how to calculate the current approximate optimal solution in real time becomes a very difficult issue, so a dedicated team is needed to handle it in order to provide a good solution.
In the face of an increasingly complex business environment in the future, the transportation and logistics industry has become more specialized, with more vertically specialized companies emerging. This industry has evolved from first-party to third-party logistics to fourth-party logistics that now serves companies with logistics fleets, which is becoming increasingly important. We expect Singularity Infinity to play an important role in this, improve logistics efficiency, and move logistics toward the next generation.
