Freight Delivery Route Optimisation for Team Global Express (TGE)

Demonstrating a 25% Reduction in Estimated Vehicle Delivery Time

IronLogic applied its advanced logistics optimisation platform to analyse approximately 25,000 historical delivery records provided by Team Global Express (TGE) across New South Wales.

The project demonstrated how automated data validation, intelligent delivery zone clustering and constraint-based route optimisation can improve freight distribution efficiency and reduce estimated vehicle operating time.

Project Highlights

  • 25% reduction in estimated vehicle delivery time.
  • 25,000 historical NSW delivery records analysed.
  • Up to 75% day-to-day freight volume variation within individual suburbs.


Stage 1: Data Preparation & Freight Analysis

Data Cleansing & Geocoding

TGE provided approximately 25,000 delivery records containing inconsistencies between delivery addresses and GPS coordinates.

Using our 1C:Enterprise-powered logistics platform, we automatically validated, corrected and geocoded the records, creating a reliable, geographically accurate dataset for route optimisation.

Freight Distribution Analysis

Using historical delivery data, our logistics platform analysed freight density across NSW suburbs, identifying geographical concentrations and patterns in delivery demand.

These insights formed the foundation for intelligent delivery zone clustering, optimised vehicle allocation and more efficient route planning.

Understanding Daily Freight Variability — Why Static Delivery Zones Fall Short

Freight volumes and delivery locations fluctuate significantly from day to day, making fixed delivery zones and traditional route planning less efficient.

Our analysis of TGE’s historical delivery data revealed day-to-day freight volume variations of up to 75% within individual suburbs, highlighting the importance of dynamic delivery zone clustering and route optimisation.

Stage 2: Intelligent Delivery Zone Clustering

AI-Powered Delivery Zone Clustering

Our advanced AI-powered clustering algorithms automatically generate optimised delivery zones, respecting suburb boundaries while balancing estimated delivery workloads across all zones.

Operators simply specify the desired number of delivery zones, and the system generates optimised clusters within minutes, replacing complex manual planning with an efficient, automated process.

Flexible Manual Adjustments

Operators can interactively fine-tune the generated zones by moving suburbs between clusters, combining the efficiency of AI optimisation with practical operational control.

Suburb-Level Analytics & Splitting

Our platform provides detailed suburb-level analytics, visualising suburb boundaries and individual pickup and delivery locations.

For greater optimisation accuracy, high-density suburbs can be divided into smaller delivery zones, enabling more precise workload balancing and efficient vehicle allocation.

Stage 3: Intelligent Route Optimisation

Our advanced route optimisation engine generates efficient, vehicle-specific delivery routes while accounting for complex operational requirements.

  • Vehicle constraints:
    Maximum weight, cargo volume and carrying capacity.
  • Time restrictions:
    Vehicle operating hours, driver breaks and delivery/pickup time windows.
  • Operational efficiency:
    Optimised delivery sequences, balanced workloads and vehicle utilisation.

The platform provides comprehensive route visualisation through interactive maps, Gantt charts and detailed route tables, giving operators full visibility and control over daily delivery operations.

Results & Business Impact

The optimisation analysis demonstrated an approximately 25% reduction in estimated vehicle delivery time, highlighting significant opportunities to improve fleet efficiency and reduce operating costs.

By combining automated data preparation, intelligent delivery zone clustering and advanced route optimisation, IronLogic demonstrated a scalable solution capable of addressing complex, real-world freight distribution challenges.

The results illustrate the potential for logistics operators to improve vehicle utilisation, reduce manual planning effort and adapt more effectively to changing daily freight demand.
