Task: SolveLastMileDelivery

Display Name: SolveLastMileDelivery

Description: The Last Mile Delivery service is a use case specific Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) algorithm designed for a fleet of vehicles that are delivering packages to the final customers. For example, this can be used for a single distribution center or store delivering to the final customer location and can be quite dense delivering to a few customers on most streets, but is not intended to visit every house on every street., Delivery companies need to determine which orders (package delivery location) should be serviced by each route (delivery vehicle and driver) and in what sequence the orders should be visited. The primary goal is to best service the orders by producing geographically clustered routes so the drivers can easily deliver to everyone and minimize the overall operating cost for the fleet of vehicles., The Route service finds the best route for a single vehicle to visit many stops where as the Last Mile Delivery service and the Vehicle Routing Problem service both find the best routes for a fleet of vehicles to service many orders. The Vehicle Routing Problem service has lots of flexibility and can model many different constraints but the algorithm is also limited by this flexibility. The Last Mile Delivery service supports a subset of the constraints but for the ones it does support is able to provide a better quality and performant algorithm.
