Case Study: United States Postal Service achieves 30% improved delivery efficiency and doubles Sunday Amazon deliveries with RouteSmart Technologies' RaaS

United States Postal Service Succeeds with Routing as a Service (RaaS)

The United States Postal Service faced a new challenge when it began Sunday deliveries for Amazon: available vehicles and temporary drivers, but rapidly changing weekly stops and a need for balanced routes, efficient delivery sequences, and turn-by-turn directions. To solve this, the USPS implemented RouteSmart Technologies’ Routing as a Service (RouteSmart RaaS) as the core of its Dynamic Routing Tool (DRT).

RouteSmart Technologies’ RaaS quickly optimized millions of addresses, enabling scalable route balancing and sequencing that an audit found improved efficiency by at least 30% (example: 69 routes totaling 2,429.6 miles vs. 99 routes/3,533.0 miles when not using RaaS, a 1,103.4-mile difference). The solution helped the Postal Service double its Sunday Amazon deliveries within a year and optimized 3.6 million delivery addresses on 48,000 routes in under five hours.
