SAN FRANCISCO and ORLANDO, Fla., June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

    Debuted at Gartner Supply Chain Symposium, the new solution combines the

power of advanced algorithms and intuitive automation to streamline logistics

complexities, improve customer experience, and turn Last-Mile into a profitable

business function

    Locus [https://locus.sh/], a leading-edge technology company solving

Last-Mile logistics challenges, today announced the launch of its

order-to-delivery dispatch management platform during the 2022 Gartner Supply

Chain Symposium/Xpo™ in Orlando, Florida.

    Locus' real-world dispatch management solution helps enterprises seamlessly

manage all stages of Last-Mile fulfillment on a single, integrated platform and

transform these operations into strategic growth centers for their business.

Advanced optimization algorithms and intuitive workflow automation learn from

previous outcomes to drive more efficient dispatch planning, scheduling, and

routing, and increased visibility, capacity, and carrier management under an

integrated API-ready solution help streamline logistics complexities, maximize

operational efficiency, and improve end-user experiences. In turn, this helps

strengthen brand reputation, sustain customer loyalty, and transform Last-Mile

operations into strategic growth centers for business.

    According to Gartner, "The increase in e-commerce operations required

businesses to adapt to the pace of quickly changing customer demands to remain

competitive. Many of the vendors have adjusted their applications to further

support B2C and last-mile operations, providing customer engagement and other

capabilities specific to last-mile operations like the use of external fleets."

    Locus is recognized as a Representative Vendor in 2022 Gartner® Market

Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling and Last-Mile Technologies1.

    "In today's competitive landscape, quick and on-time deliveries are

non-negotiable to customer satisfaction, retention, and growth," said Nishith

Rastogi, Founder and CEO of Locus. "But while many companies might see

Last-Mile logistics as simply a means to an end, they might not realize that

optimizing these efforts can actually contribute to the bottom line. From order

capture to post-fulfillment, brands that strategically tap the right technology

and processes at all stages are able to better service their customers and keep

them coming back for more. As we seek to grow and adapt our solutions alongside

our customers, our global Last-Mile optimization platform will be especially

critical in unlocking the potential for better business like never before."
