Finmile, answered

Finmile is an AI operating system for logistics, delivery and field operations. It plans routes, dispatches drivers, tracks deliveries, manages exceptions, captures proof of delivery and analyses performance from one platform, built for real delivery networks rather than static route planning.

Finmile ingests orders, optimises routes, allocates work, monitors live delivery progress, predicts delays, triggers customer updates, captures proof of delivery and reports on cost, service and driver performance. The result is fewer wasted miles, fewer failed deliveries and better visibility.

Both. Finmile includes advanced AI route optimisation, but it is broader than route planning: it also runs dispatch, live operations, driver workflows, proof of delivery, exception management and reporting. It helps create the plan, run the day, and improve the next operation.

Basic tools calculate a route before the day starts. Finmile is built for live operations, supporting dynamic routing, live tracking, exceptions, driver workflows, customer communication, proof of delivery and analytics, because real delivery days rarely follow the original plan.

Finmile is built for logistics companies, courier networks, delivery service providers, 3PLs, retailers, ecommerce brands, field service operators and healthcare logistics teams, especially those with high volume, multiple depots, mixed fleets and service level agreements.

No. Finmile supports dispatchers, planners and operations teams. It automates repetitive work, surfaces risks and gives better visibility, but human oversight stays in control.

Finmile uses AI to optimise routes, predict delays, identify delivery risk, improve ETA accuracy, support proof of delivery validation and recommend better ways to allocate work, across the whole delivery lifecycle rather than just producing a map.

Yes. By improving route density, driver allocation and stop sequencing, Finmile reduces unnecessary routes and miles. Finmile reports delivery cost reductions of up to 42 percent, and Net Zero Logistics cut daily routes from 30 to 40 down to 16 to 20 after adopting Finmile.

Implementation depends on complexity, data quality and integrations; a pilot can move quickly while a full enterprise rollout takes longer. Finmile does offer pilots, and the best approach is to prove value on one live operation before expanding.

Yes. Finmile offers API integrations and can connect with WMS, TMS, ERP, ecommerce platforms and carrier systems. It does not require a full system replacement and can sit alongside the tools you already run.

AI route optimisation software uses artificial intelligence to plan more efficient routes for deliveries, collections or field jobs. It weighs delivery windows, vehicle capacity, traffic, driver availability, depot rules and service levels, not just the shortest distance.

It analyses many possible route combinations and selects the most efficient plan against your business rules and constraints, considering distance, time, capacity, priority, shift length, vehicle type and live conditions. AI can process thousands of variables far faster than manual planning.

Route planning decides where drivers go and in what order. Route optimisation goes further, finding the most efficient way to complete that work against distance, time, cost, capacity and service requirements. Finmile combines both with live execution and analytics.

Yes. It lowers mileage, improves driver utilisation, removes unnecessary routes, increases stop density and cuts manual planning time. The biggest savings come when optimisation is combined with live operations data and ongoing route learning.

Yes. It reduces unnecessary mileage and improves stop sequencing. For van fleets that cuts fuel directly; for electric fleets, smarter routing protects range and improves vehicle utilisation.

Yes. By completing more successful stops within the same shift, route optimisation increases capacity, letting companies grow delivery volume without adding vehicles, drivers or depots at the same rate.

Yes. Plans can be adjusted during the day when conditions change, such as traffic, failed deliveries, late drivers, urgent orders or depot delays, so service levels are protected without manual firefighting.

Route density is how many stops are completed efficiently within an area or time period. Higher density means less travel between stops, and it is one of the biggest drivers of last mile cost, so Finmile groups work to raise it.

Yes. Finmile optimises multi-stop delivery routes and collection routes for couriers, retailers, healthcare, field service and reverse logistics, accounting for time windows, capacity, priority and depot rules, not just distance.

Control Tower is the live operations layer of Finmile. It gives teams visibility across routes, drivers, parcels, depots, exceptions, performance and service levels, so they can see what is happening now and what is likely to go wrong next.

Yes. Teams can see driver progress, delivery status, route performance and exceptions throughout the day, moving from reactive firefighting to spotting delivery risk early and acting before it becomes a failed delivery.

It is the process of spotting and resolving problems during delivery, such as late drivers, failed attempts, missing parcels, address issues and service-level risk. Finmile surfaces exceptions earlier so teams can act before they become failures.

Delivery operations are full of small problems that quickly become service failures. Without a system, teams rely on calls, messages and spreadsheets. Exception management helps them prioritise the most urgent issues and protect service levels.

Yes. By combining route plans, live driver progress, sequencing, traffic and operational data, Finmile improves ETA accuracy, which reduces customer queries, missed deliveries and dispatcher workload.

Yes. Dispatchers see route assignments, live progress, delivery status, exceptions and performance data in one place, giving them what they need to support drivers, resolve issues and keep the operation moving.

Yes. Finmile supports operations across multiple depots, hubs, cities or regions, accounting for geography, capacity, labour, service areas and depot cutoffs to keep performance consistent across locations.

Yes. Finmile turns operational delivery data into clear performance metrics, so leadership can understand cost per delivery, route efficiency, service quality, claims, customer experience and operational risk.

No. Finmile's AI supports planners, dispatchers and operators. It automates repetitive work and surfaces risks, but human oversight stays in control of customers, drivers and real-world constraints.

It helps optimise route structures, predict which deliveries are at risk, recommend how to reallocate work when the day changes, improve ETA accuracy and validate proof of delivery, so operators make faster, better-informed decisions.

Yes. Finmile can detect exceptions such as late drivers, failed attempts and address problems earlier, then recommend the next action so teams resolve issues before they become service failures.

Finmile combines the route plan, live driver progress, stop sequencing, traffic conditions and operational history to produce more accurate ETAs, which reduces WISMO queries and missed deliveries.

Yes. By reading live progress against the plan, Finmile can flag delivery risk during the day, letting dispatchers act proactively instead of waiting for a customer complaint.

Finmile is designed for human-in-the-loop operations: the AI recommends and surfaces risk, while operators approve and stay accountable, with structured data and audit trails behind decisions.

Yes. The Finmile driver app lets drivers receive routes, view assigned stops, scan parcels, follow delivery instructions, update status and capture proof of delivery, reducing confusion and standardising delivery quality.

Proof of delivery is the evidence a delivery was completed, such as a photo, signature, GPS location, timestamp, driver note or barcode scan. It protects the customer, retailer, courier and driver and reduces disputes and claims.

Finmile captures structured delivery evidence, including photos, geolocation, timestamps and status, and helps verify the driver was in the right place, which is especially valuable for high-volume parcel operations where claims add up.

Yes. Finmile supports mixed fleets including vans, bikes and cargo bikes, so companies can match the right vehicle to the right work by density, parcel size, delivery windows, congestion and emissions rules.

Yes. Clearer routes, accurate delivery instructions, better ETAs and structured proof of delivery reduce failed attempts, which are costly because they create reattempts, customer queries, claims and wasted driver time.

Yes. Finmile can capture check-in, check-out, attendance, completed work, route assignment and job-type data, reducing manual payroll admin and improving operational accountability.

Yes. Clear routes, better stop sequencing and accurate instructions mean drivers spend less time guessing, waiting or calling dispatch, so they complete more work within a realistic shift.

Yes. Finmile supports forward delivery and reverse logistics together, so outbound deliveries, returns, collections and failed-delivery recovery can be planned in a joined-up way that improves vehicle utilisation and reduces wasted miles.

Yes. Finmile optimises collection routes as well as deliveries, which suits returns, waste collection, healthcare logistics, repairs, parts collection and reverse logistics, accounting for pickup windows, item size and depot return rules.

Handling collections on the same routes as deliveries raises vehicle utilisation and removes separate return journeys, cutting miles, driver time and cost per stop.

Yes. Better proof of delivery, driver workflows, geolocation evidence and photo capture help resolve disputes quickly and fairly, reducing claims that arise when delivery evidence is weak.

Yes. Finmile supports parts returns and reverse logistics, including incorrect parts, warranty returns, damaged items, unused parts and core returns, combined with deliveries to reduce unnecessary journeys.

Failed deliveries come from poor address quality, customer unavailability, inaccurate ETAs, missed windows, access issues or weak communication. Finmile helps identify and reduce these operational causes.

Yes. Same-day operations need fast planning, live updates and rapid decisions as orders arrive through the day. Finmile helps allocate work, sequence stops and respond immediately when new jobs or exceptions appear.

Yes. Finmile plans routes, allocates drivers, tracks deliveries, manages exceptions and reports on performance, helping next-day networks move from manual planning to a consistent, data-driven approach.

Yes. Finmile uses dynamic routing to change plans during the day based on live data, new orders, delivery progress and driver availability, which is essential when demand is unpredictable.

Static routing fixes routes in advance and keeps them largely unchanged. Dynamic routing updates routes based on live data, new orders and operational risk. On-demand and same-day networks need dynamic routing to keep up.

Finmile can insert new jobs into live routes and re-sequence work, showing the impact on the rest of the day so dispatchers can protect both urgent and existing commitments.

Yes. By combining live driver progress, sequencing and traffic data, Finmile produces more accurate ETAs, which matters most when delivery windows are tight and customer expectations are high.

Yes. By improving route plans, density and stop sequencing, Finmile removes unnecessary travel and duplicated coverage. The greenest mile is the one you never drive, and cutting miles reduces both fuel and emissions.

Yes. Finmile reduces unnecessary miles, improves route density and helps teams complete work more efficiently, removing wasted journeys from waste, recycling and other collection operations.

Yes. Finmile supports mixed fleets including vans, bikes and cargo bikes, and helps match the right vehicle to the right work by density, parcel size, congestion and emissions rules.

Higher density means drivers travel less between stops, so each successful delivery carries fewer miles and less fuel, lowering both cost and carbon per stop.

Yes. Finmile reports on route reduction, miles saved and delivery performance, so teams can quantify efficiency gains and the associated fuel and emissions savings.

Delivery management software helps businesses plan, dispatch, track and complete deliveries, usually including route planning, driver management, customer notifications, proof of delivery and reporting. Finmile is delivery management software built around AI optimisation and live execution.

Most route planners create routes before drivers leave the depot. Finmile goes further, adding dispatch, live tracking, exception management, proof of delivery, driver workflows, customer updates and analytics, so you run the whole operation, not just a route list.

A TMS manages transport planning, carrier allocation, freight, rates and documentation. Finmile focuses on the execution layer, optimising routes, managing drivers, tracking live progress and resolving exceptions, and can run alongside an existing TMS.

No. Finmile is the intelligent execution layer between your order systems and the real-world delivery operation. It integrates with WMS, TMS, ERP and order management rather than replacing them.

Spreadsheets become fragile at scale: hard to update live, easy to break and poor at routing, live tracking and exceptions. Finmile replaces spreadsheet planning with a structured, intelligent operating system.

Google Maps is for navigation, not logistics. It does not manage delivery constraints, driver capacity, parcel scanning, proof of delivery, customer communication or reporting. Drivers may still navigate with maps while Finmile controls the workflow.

Yes. Finmile connects with ecommerce and operational systems through integrations and APIs, including platforms such as Shopify and TikTok Shop, so orders flow from existing systems into delivery planning and execution.

Finmile tackles the operational problems that make delivery expensive: manual route planning, inefficient driver allocation, poor visibility, delayed updates, failed deliveries, weak proof of delivery, fragmented carrier data and limited reporting, by connecting planning, execution and analytics.

No. Finmile supports both growing delivery companies and enterprise networks. The key question is not company size but whether delivery complexity is high enough that manual planning and fragmented systems are limiting growth.

Yes. Finmile integrates with warehouse management, transport management, ERP and custom operational tools, so it can sit alongside existing systems and improve planning, execution and visibility without a full replacement.

Yes. Finmile supports API-based integrations to push order data in, receive optimised routes, update delivery status and connect existing systems, which is essential for high-volume networks where manual uploads do not scale.

Yes. Better route efficiency, higher driver productivity, fewer failed deliveries and less manual planning all reduce cost per delivery, one of the most important metrics for a DSP's margin.

Last mile delivery software manages the final stage of delivery from depot or hub to the customer, including route optimisation, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, notifications, driver apps and reporting. Finmile is built to run and improve complex last-mile operations.

It involves many small stops, variable customer availability, urban congestion, driver time, fuel, failed deliveries, address issues, returns and customer queries. The more fragmented the network, the harder cost and service are to control.

Improve route optimisation, increase route density, reduce failed deliveries, raise driver productivity, automate dispatch, strengthen proof of delivery and improve customer communication. Finmile attacks cost from several angles, not just routing.

Yes. Better route planning, ETA accuracy, driver instructions, visibility, communication and proof of delivery all reduce failed deliveries, which are costly because they create reattempts, queries, claims and wasted time.

Yes. Finmile improves route density, driver allocation and sequencing to cut unnecessary routes. Net Zero Logistics reduced daily routes from 30 to 40 down to 16 to 20 after adopting Finmile while maintaining delivery capacity.

Yes. Better communication, live tracking and ETA accuracy reduce 'where is my order' queries, which are expensive because they load the customer service team and usually signal poor delivery visibility.

Finmile helps teams move beyond manual planning, disconnected systems and reactive operations, optimising routes, running live operations, improving visibility, capturing better proof and making data-driven decisions to cut cost and scale without adding headcount.

Finmile improves delivery visibility, reduces customer queries, manages carrier performance and creates a better post-purchase experience. For brands, reliable delivery drives retention, while poor delivery creates refunds, complaints and lost repeat purchases.

Yes. Finmile unifies delivery performance, tracking and exceptions across carriers into one view, so brands stop checking separate carrier portals and can improve customer communication consistently.

Yes. Finmile supports Shopify and TikTok Shop connected delivery workflows through integrations, bridging the gap between order creation and the physical delivery experience so teams control routing, tracking and ETAs.

Yes. Accurate ETAs, proactive updates, real-time tracking, clear status and reliable proof of delivery reduce WISMO queries and the customer service workload behind them.

Customers expect accurate updates and blame the brand when delivery goes wrong, even when a third-party carrier is at fault. Finmile turns fragmented delivery data into clear visibility so brands can answer confidently.

A great website wins the first sale; a reliable delivery experience wins the second. Delivery quality shapes whether customers trust a brand enough to order again.

Yes. Finmile improves delivery visibility and operational control so retailers can offer the speed, tracking and certainty customers now expect, without building a full logistics technology stack themselves.

It is planning technician visits in the most efficient order while accounting for job location, technician availability, skills, travel time, customer windows and priorities, so teams reduce travel and complete more jobs with the same workforce.

Yes. Finmile can match jobs to technicians by qualification, equipment or experience, because in field service the nearest worker is not always the right worker.

Yes. Finmile shows live field capacity, technician locations and route progress, so teams can decide quickly who can respond to emergency work and understand the impact on the rest of the schedule.

Finmile supports better first-time fix performance by matching the right person to the right job and improving scheduling. It is one part of a wider process that also depends on parts availability, skill and diagnosis.

Yes. Finmile gives visibility over job deadlines, route progress, technician availability and service risk, so teams can prioritise urgent work before an SLA is missed.

Yes. Finmile plans maintenance visits, inspections, repairs and compliance checks across many sites, and supports both planned maintenance routes and urgent reactive work inserted into existing schedules.

Yes. Finmile supports workflows where mobile workers visit locations, capture evidence, complete tasks and update status, covering vehicle inspections, property checks, asset inspections and compliance visits.

Yes. Finmile plans routes, dispatches drivers, tracks deliveries and manages proof of delivery for parts delivery, which is time-sensitive because workshops and dealerships often wait on a part before completing a repair.

Yes. Finmile runs more efficient delivery across branches, trade customers, garages and workshops, handling urgent orders, routes that change through the day and delivery density that varies by region.

Yes. Finmile plans fast routes, allocates work, tracks drivers and responds to urgent changes, which same-day parts delivery needs because orders arrive throughout the day and priorities shift.
