Goals

i-Deliver introduces an innovative business model that aspires to radically change the way delivery services operates in Greece. It is an open web platform for software, aimed at both stores and consumers. Its core technology lies on the optimal management of the time and destination of each delivery task and the model of work sharing between distributors and customers (consumers or businesses) based on customization, utilizing advanced optimization algorithms developed by the research partners of the project. The technological innovation of the platform lies on the precise forecasting of the estimated delivery time through many parameters (e.g. seasonality, peak hours, special days and events, weather conditions, historical trends, number of associate businesses). Also, i-Deliver aims, through multivariate optimization algorithms, to make real-time decisions in order to ensure optimal utilization of the entire ecosystem of consumers, enterprises, distributors and achieve maximum workload and the fastest possible time to deliver.
