nuVizz Recognized in the 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling

nuVizz, a leading delivery and transportation platform in last mile delivery technology, has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling report.

Gartner defines a VRS solution as “Specialized transportation applications aimed at organizations that directly (e.g., private/dedicated fleet) or indirectly (e.g., contract fleet, crowdsourced fleets) manage shipping assets and resources. These tools are used to develop route plans that meet the delivery objectives at minimal cost and mileage based on the company’s parameters (such as from orders), rules, and constraints.”


Further, the report notes that “VRS vendors continue to invest and are now applying AI/ML technologies to further optimize the routing algorithm. Vendors are also optimizing other aspects of the transportation operation, such as driver and fleet utilization and address validation. Routing algorithms can process new data inputs to provide more accurate, optimal routing, resulting in near-real-time operation control and visibility.”

nuVizz’s artificial intelligence and ML based delivery management and orchestration platform meets the needs of last-mile delivery fleets, carriers, LSPs and agents for both B2B and B2C deliveries. By analyzing historical data as well as real-time conditions, nuVizz is able to route and schedule fleet deliveries in the last-mile and ensure customer satisfaction. Predictive analytics and alerts as well as omnichannel supply chain visibility allow for nuVizz users to effectively and efficiently optimize their last-mile operations.

nuVizz CEO, Gururaj Rao added, “In order for fleets, drivers and customers to find success in the last-mile, they must have access to dynamic and flexible technology that allows for them to orchestrate and optimize deliveries, sometimes on the fly. This is the second Gartner report that has identified nuVizz as a Representative Vendor for Last-Mile Delivery Software, as nuVizz was also recognized in the 2022 Market Guide for Last Mile Delivery Technology Solutions.( December, 2022) We believe this continued recognition displays how nuVizz is able to meet nearly every need for operators and agents looking to enhance theirs and their customers’ last-mile experience.”

Additionally, the report identifies, “Although most vendors support both trucking fleets and sales delivery fleets, we see a segmentation in the market between the offerings for both types of fleets. Functionality appears similar when looking at it from a high level; however, the trucking fleets need more scenarios for more complex movements that must align with driving regulations. Sales delivery fleets, on the other hand, operate in a more dynamic environment and in last-mile delivery scenarios.”

nuVizz supports many industry verticals including healthcare logistics, pharma distribution, food distribution and general LSP segment.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
