Inspiration
In these Corona Virus times we want to provide the missing links between the struggling local commerce, the growing number of customers depending on home delivery with a daily changing open pool of available local fleet of scarce professional van or taxi drivers, the occasional private driver wanting to help out with his private vehicle to make some revenues, and the cargo bikes and volunteers (i.e. sporty runners) to bring and pick up packages and medicine , through an optimized pool software that reduces the amount of time and emission needed to meet all transport needs. We engage the local community in the town to jointly bridge the capacity gap for first- and last-mile transport,
What it does
We match existing e-commerce initiatives wanting to bring goods and merchandise from many pick-up points to may delivery points through a sophisticated AI-based fleet optimization software
How we built it
We adapt the transport module element i an existing advanced fleet delivery software for larger commercial customers - the APX Intellitrack - that is already accepted by large Norwegian companies ( Coop) so that it becomes accessible to everyone. It will work for all and is very fast to optimize to reduce distance, cost and climate impact. It works anywhere in the World where GoogleMap works
We use their core AI-based fleet optimization in a crowd-sourcing transport Concept engaging the local community to meet local needs
Challenges we ran into
We need to make it available to all people in their local languages
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The idea was very well received at the Oslo Hackaton and the Swiss Hackaton
What we learned
Involve international partners with good local cultural understanding
