LastMile Delivery Co — Same-day delivery service in metro area
AI deployment blueprint for Same-day delivery service in metro area. Automates last mile ops using Google Maps, Twilio, Stripe, Claude.
AI Readiness Score
Basic delivery data available but may lack historical optimization metrics. GPS tracking provides good foundation.
Semi-technical team with existing Claude usage shows AI familiarity. Operations-focused staff can provide domain expertise.
Budget range supports essential automation tools with room for optimization services.
Clear repetitive processes in route planning and ETA updates. Manual driver assignment shows strong automation potential.
2-3 months is realistic for incremental automation rollout. Route optimization may need more testing time.
Google Maps and Twilio APIs are well-documented. Existing tools have good API coverage.
How This System Works
Architecture
Event-driven automation system integrating with Google Maps for route intelligence, Twilio for customer communication, and existing delivery tracking infrastructure. Core optimization runs on scheduled intervals while customer updates and driver assignments react to real-time events.
Data Flow
Delivery requests flow into the dispatcher agent which assigns optimal drivers. As drivers move, the route optimizer continuously improves efficiency while the ETA messenger keeps customers informed. All agents share location and status data to maintain system-wide optimization.
Implementation Phases
Implement automated customer notifications to provide immediate value and establish core integrations
Add automated driver assignment to optimize initial route decisions
Deploy continuous route optimization for maximum efficiency gains
Prerequisites
- -Reliable driver GPS tracking system
- -Delivery database with API access
- -Customer contact information database
- -Google Maps API account with sufficient quota
Assumptions
- -Average of 50 deliveries per day
- -6-day operation week
- -Current manual dispatch takes 5 minutes per assignment
- -Customer service spends 20 minutes daily on ETA inquiries

Internal API
Data Flow
Inputs
- delivery_database — Pending deliveries with addresses, time windows, and priorities(JSON)
- driver_tracker — Real-time driver locations and status(GPS coordinates)
Outputs
- dispatch_system — Optimized routes with turn-by-turn directions and ETAs(JSON)
Prerequisites
- -Driver GPS tracking system
- -Delivery database with time windows
- -Google Maps API with traffic data access
Error Handling
Use cached traffic patterns and fallback to previous optimal routes
Alert dispatch and suggest delay/reschedule options
