While the capability is impactful across industries, it promises significant benefits for one in particular: Post and Parcel. The product\u2019s newest algorithm solves the complexities of managing combined and parcel-only delivery networks, optimizing parcel split, computing intelligent routes, and ultimately designing sectors for data-driven efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing delivery areas has always been an inexact science for the post and parcel industry. Networks with distinct strengths and weaknesses \u2013 which require different route optimization \u2013 further complicate the sectorization problem. While parcel-only networks provide more flexibility for time-sensitive packages, combined networks are more cost effective, and assignment to one network or the other impacts resource usage and delivery quality. Traditional operations struggle to split parcels between groups, but Greenplan leverages cooperative game theory &#8211; specifically the &#8220;Happy Nucleolus\u201d model \u2013 to assign parcels with mathematical precision for smarter route and sector design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":107973,"template":"","categories":[1146],"tags":[],"product":[],"press-release-authors":[],"cs-industries":[],"class_list":["post-107971","press-release","type-press-release","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release\/107971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-release"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107971"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=107971"},{"taxonomy":"press-release-authors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release-authors?post=107971"},{"taxonomy":"cs-industries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epg.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs-industries?post=107971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
