Case Study: Posti Group achieves significant cost savings with RouteSmart Technologies

Posti Group achieves 5%+ delivery cost savings with RouteSmart Technologies

Posti Group, a state-owned postal service operating in Finland and 11 other countries, faced challenges in increasing delivery efficiency and achieving significant cost savings. To measure, plan, and optimize its routes in reaction to changing daily volumes, Posti implemented RouteSmart's route optimization solution, which required integration into its existing infrastructure and improvements to its geographic data.

RouteSmart worked with Posti to create custom tools and modules that integrated with existing sorting systems, allowing for the management of dynamically changing delivery volumes. The solution enabled Posti to far exceed its goal of 5% cost savings per delivery center, achieving a positive return on investment in less than a year. The project also resulted in more balanced routes, equitable compensation models for personnel, and continued operational improvements.
