Summary
- The latest release of Logibee’s logistics automation platform helps businesses scale and save time with the hub and spokes model.
- This is a huge benefit for fast-growing companies, which have to run multiple micro fulfillment centers and dark stores. Creating a fulfillment center (sometimes referred as hub or depot) is as easy as click and mark on a map based interface.
- With this latest release, Logibee can become your logistics partner without you having to know all the details of how a hub and spoke model works.
- You can simply mark locations as hubs/depots and the rest is taken care of by Logibee as the orders flow in.
Combining Geo Fencing with Hub and Spoke Model for better logistics automation
Logibee allows a geofencing zone based operational model for effective route optimization. Zones are the partitioning the areas of operation into smaller portions. With Logibee’s polygonal geometry, you can create zones of any size and shape. This geo fencing then serves as boundaries for route optimization.
With the latest feature update you can select a specific location within the zone to be a depot. Depots are used as parcel pickup locations. So if you have an existing area of operation you can now choose your depots more effectively.
If you don't have an existing zone and want to create zones, you can do this with ease. That way you can easily define pickup locations for your customers. No additional infrastructure is required for creating zones. You can add zones instantly as a part of your master setup. You can create as many zones as you wish or have the need for.
Orchestrating your logistics organization structure for the hub and spoke model.
A supervisor can be assigned to each depot to manage all the deliveries that come through that particular depot. If there are multiple depot locations, then a zone manager can be assigned to oversee a group of those depots, and if there are multiple cities with depot locations, then a city manager can be assigned to oversee all the city zone managers.
This organization structure makes it easy to manage a nationwide, multi-city delivery operation with the ability to drill down to a specific depot.
Scaling your operations can be smooth with Logibee as your technology logistics partner
