Sustainable Last-Mile Delivery: Custom Cargo Bike Routing Across 7 UK Cities

Zedify, a leader in eco-conscious urban deliveries, needed a technological transformation. Their existing systems lacked real-time visibility and their routing algorithms weren't designed for the unique requirements of cargo bike logistics. This made providing accurate delivery updates, ensuring rider safety, and scaling a challenge.

The Solution: Foresight Mobile worked with Zedify as their Flutter development partner and fractional CTO to transform their operations across 7 UK cities:

A Ground-Up Rider App Rebuild: A brand-new rider app providing continuous location tracking and real-time parcel status updates. Powered by Flutter, this app was tailored to the specific needs of bike deliveries.

Robust Back-End Overhaul: Modifications to Zedify's back end, enabling efficient handling of new data streams and the creation of informative dashboards.

Bike-Optimised Routing Engine: Deep customisation of the Valhalla routing engine to factor in terrain, cargo weight, battery capacity, and rider fatigue. Routes built specifically for cargo bikes, not repurposed from car delivery systems.

Project Execution

1. Collaborative Deep Dive: We initiated the project with an in-depth analysis of Zedify's existing infrastructure, operational goals, and pain points. This understanding ensured our goals were aligned with the company's vision and mission.

2. Agile Rider App Development: Utilising agile methodologies, we crafted a feature-rich, user-friendly rider app to empower riders on the front line.

3. Back-End Transformation: Our experts re-engineered Zedify's back-end to manage the influx of real-time rider and parcel data, laying the foundation for dynamic dashboards and insights.

4. Route Optimisation Innovation: We pushed the boundaries of the Valhalla routing engine. Our customisation considered elevation, cargo weight limits, battery capacity, and rider fatigue: factors generic routing engines ignore entirely. The result is a bike-centric routing engine that prioritises efficiency without sacrificing rider wellbeing.

5. Iterative Testing and Deployment: Throughout the project lifecycle, rigorous testing protocols ensured the quality and stability of each new component, leading to a smooth and successful rollout.

Results

    • Real-Time Transparency: Both Zedify and their customers now have up-to-the-minute visibility on parcel location and delivery status, transforming their customer experience.
    • Boosted Operational Efficiency: Data-driven dashboards and the optimised routing engine have streamlined dispatching and significantly enhanced fleet management.
    • Enabled Scalability: Zedify is now empowered with the tools to confidently expand their operations, knowing they have the technological infrastructure to support their growth.

    • Strengthened Sustainability Mission: The increased efficiency and precision gained with Foresight Mobile's solutions furthers Zedify's mission of making urban logistics more eco-friendly.
