Failed Critical Tests

❌ Connect each KPI directly to the business problem. "What number proves the project worked?"

Business Problem

UPS faces challenges in last-mile delivery due to unpredictable traffic conditions, customer availability, and limited real-time communication. Customers receive broad delivery windows rather than accurate estimates, causing missed deliveries, frustration, and increased support calls.

Goals:
  • Reduce failed deliveries by 20%
  • Improve ETA accuracy to above 90%
  • Reduce delivery-related support inquiries by 15%

AI Solution

Real-time delivery intelligence analyzing GPS, historical performance, traffic, weather, and customer patterns. The system predicts dynamic ETAs, generates proactive updates, provides AI-powered chatbot support, recommends route adjustments, and identifies potential delays before they occur.

Human-in-the-Loop:

Drivers maintain authority over delivery execution and can override route recommendations. Customer service agents can review chatbot interactions and intervene if needed.
