A what3words Case Study
Monos, Ulaanbaatar’s largest pharmacy chain, needed a better way to complete home deliveries in Mongolia, where many streets are unnamed and buildings unnumbered. Drivers often lost time searching for addresses and calling customers for directions, making Monos’ online and phone delivery service inefficient and costly. Monos turned to what3words to help improve its delivery process.
Monos integrated what3words into its ordering and delivery system so customers could share a precise 3 word address from the free what3words app, while drivers used maps.me to navigate to the exact 3m x 3m location. The results were clear: Monos found deliveries using 3 word addresses were 11.2% faster, and over 18 deliveries, drivers using what3words made zero calls for directions compared with 16 calls for street-address deliveries.
