Nova Digital in Ukraine introduces IT solution to enhance delivery efficiency, reduce costs
The IT company Nova Digital, part of the Nova group (Nova Poshta), has developed a software product to improve address delivery efficiency called RouteStripe, according to its press service.
"Nova Digital has introduced a new service that helps businesses optimize delivery routes and schedules. Using RouteStripe allows companies to reduce logistics costs by up to 30%," the Nova Digital press service reported on March 7.
With RouteStripe, companies can create routes that include multiple destinations and different types of vehicles, enabling them to plan deliveries more efficiently and on time. The solution optimizes last-mile logistics, the statement noted.
The software analyzes resource efficiency (fuel, time, and personnel utilization), evaluates route accuracy and vehicle load levels, adjusts routes in real-time, monitors delivery timeliness, and tracks courier operations, according to the release.
The official website of the program states that it helps improve logistics efficiency for small and medium-sized businesses that handle more than 30,000 deliveries per month.
The service includes an API for integration with TMS systems (Transportation Management System – a logistics management system that helps companies plan, execute, and optimize freight transportation) and will be beneficial for companies engaged in address delivery, such as logistics operators, delivery services, retail chains, and e-commerce businesses.
One of the first clients testing RouteStripe is Nova Poshta, according to Nova Digital's press service.
"Thanks to RouteStripe, we have adapted routes to suit our needs. This has allowed us to reduce costs by 30%. Additionally, we have optimized the use of our vehicle fleet, leading to a 33.9% reduction in fuel consumption. This has not only lowered our operating expenses but also helped reduce CO₂ emissions," said Yulia Popko, Director of Address Services at Nova Poshta.
The program's usage fee is currently EUR 30 per month, EUR 162 for six months, or EUR 306 per year. A seven-day free trial is available for product testing.
