Problem
Enterprise retailers and manufacturers struggle with fragmented logistics processes, manual route planning, and inefficient hub operations, leading to high delivery costs, low on‑time‑in‑full rates, and poor customer experiences across omnichannel fulfillment.
Solution
Locus provides an AI‑driven, API‑first logistics platform that unifies dispatch planning, hub operations, capacity management, delivery orchestration, and fulfillment automation. The system ingests order, inventory, and fleet data from OMS, WMS, and ERP systems, then applies proprietary algorithms that consider over 180 real‑world constraints—such as vehicle capacity, driver shifts, traffic, and service windows—to generate optimal routes and schedules. Real‑time execution signals trigger automatic re‑optimizations, while integrated dashboards give planners visibility into fleet utilization, hub throughput, and exception handling. By automating decision‑making across every mile, Locus reduces logistics spend, improves OTIF performance, and enhances end‑customer delivery experiences.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise retailers, CPG/FMCG manufacturers, and multi‑brand B2B/B2C businesses that operate large, mixed fleets and require end‑to‑end visibility and automation of their omnichannel fulfillment networks.
