What we shipped

A vehicle routing and demand prediction platform that automates transportation planning across supplier, plant, and dealership flows.

Challenge

Automotive supply chains involve thousands of components, suppliers, and logistics routes. Many decisions are made manually or through legacy planning tools that cannot adapt to changing conditions such as demand shifts, capacity changes, or disruptions.

Approach

Blueprint → AI Pilot → Production launch → Scale and operate.

We followed the Datablooz Delivery Model. See our process.

  1. Blueprint

    Mapped supplier locations, plant demand, fleet capacity, delivery constraints, and planning rules currently held in legacy tools.

  2. AI Pilot

    Prototyped vehicle routing optimization and predictive demand models on a single supplier-plant flow.

  3. Production launch

    Deployed dynamic route planning and operational data pipelines across supplier, factory, and dealership distribution.

  4. Scale and operate

    Extended to spare-parts logistics, added real-time re-planning on disruptions, and continuously retrained demand models.

Outcomes

Business, technical, and governance outcomes.

  • 80% less time spent on logistics planning.
  • Improved transportation efficiency across suppliers.
  • Reduced fuel consumption and transportation costs.
  • More reliable just-in-time manufacturing.
Architecture and stack
