Locus has introduced industry-specific enhancements of its order-to-delivery Dispatch Management Platform for the retail, 3PL and courier verticals. These new features include:
Retailers can exceed consumer expectations by offering flexible and convenient delivery options with Delivery Linked Checkout, which optimizes deliveries via capacity-led slot bookings and includes multi-speed and time-definite delivery options for same- and next-day shipments. Locus’ Order Management & Route Planning capabilities ensure seamless returns by optimizing reverse logistics, cancellations and reattempts with advanced routing.
Retailers can provide omnichannel fulfillment with Locus ShipFlex, which automates entire carrier workflows for optimal pricing and delivers end-to-end visibility of order-to-doorstep deliveries across in-house, contracted, and outsourced fleets. Cross-fleet Utilization facilitates fulfillment by deploying the same fleet across different legs and business. Dark Store Optimization allows retailers to centralize dark store, in-store, and FC fulfillment on a single platform.
Locus’ technology enables last-mile logistics by automating planning processes and enhancing real-time visibility, providing a way to manage challenging returns and cancellations, and connecting the dots across their operations and data.
Transporter Management allows carriers to bring all transporters onto a single platform to assign orders/routes to them at scale, thereby reducing the risk of deadlock if some transporters out of commission.
