Build a Serverless Delivery Command Center on GCP

Combine Maps, OR-Tools, SendGrid and Cloud Functions to commandeer a delivery fleet

This article shows how to:

1. Set up a Cloud Storage in GCP that triggers a Cloud Function when a file is uploaded;

2. Set up a Cloud Function that calculates the optimal routing strategies with Google Maps and Google OR-Tools;

3. Send instruction emails to the carriers via SendGrid;

4. Set up Cloud Build for continuous deployment.

It is amazing how many modern business solutions can be built on the cloud with just a few services. Developers can combine cloud components to make a pipeline that goes from data ingestion to sending the results via emails with just a few clicks. The pricing is flexible. Hardware provision is minimal, especially with the serverless option. As a result, small businesses can now afford a huge amount of computational capacities. This democratization of computing power rapidly modernizes many traditional businesses. One of them must be the delivery service.

I came across two articles here on Medium: one by  Sebastian Telsemeyer  about building a time series forecast pipeline on GCP with Cloud Run and Pub/Sub:

The second one is by  Samir Saci, who uses the Goolge OR-Tools to optimize the last-mile delivery (the  solution was proposed first by Goolge in 2020 however):

Optimize E-Co

Sebastian’s article is inspiring. In his pipeline, a Pub/Sub monitors a specific GCP bucket. When a TSV file is uploaded, it activates a Cloud Run computation that generates the results in a second bucket. His whole infrastructure is serverless and codified in Terraform. In my opinion, his pipeline can even be simpler: a Cloud Function triggered by a Finalise/Create  event can replace the “Pub/Sub + Cloud Run” combination. The simpler version requires fewer setups. Because Cloud Function is basically a Lambda function, it thus gets rid of the whole Docker part and the Gunicorn + Flask dependency.

How Blockchain Can Make the Online Food Delivery Process Reliable and Decentralized

Next, to the on-demand taxi booking industry, the one that is functioning smoothly with millions of users is online food ordering and delivery. It is also famous among entrepreneurs because of the business model. The initial capital is very less in this business and there are so many things to experiment.

Similar to the taxi industry, the food delivery industry also suffers from centralization and lack of transparency. Even with a 20-25% commission for every order, the food delivery business is not achieving the potential growth.

So, this cannot be solved without technological intervention. I hope blockchain tech can eliminate the problems in on-demand food delivery and can form a decentralized food delivery network. read more at : https://bit.ly/3tESJbm

Site Selection and Best Path using Optimization Techniques — Canada Post Example

In this article, we’ll focus on the courier delivery services industry (Canada). There is always a need to reduce operational costs in this industry. And to do this, companies often face challenges while selecting the location for a new site and finding the best path for the delivery van to reduce costs related to fuel and time.

About the Industry

The Courier Delivery Services Industry includes two major segments, that include large couriers and small-scale delivery companies. The total revenue for 2019 in Canada was $12.8 bn with 5-year annual growth of 3.5%. The industry is projected to grow over the next five years as improvements in disposable incomes have made consumers increasingly willing to purchase commercial goods, the majority of which are e-commerce related. The projected upswing in the price of crude oil will also allow the companies to generate more profit by optimizing their delivery performance.

Supply Chain and Major Players

In the market ecosystem, courier delivery companies in Canada form the bridge between first-tier buyers and suppliers. Please see the below figure to understand the supply chain.

How Much Does It Cost to Develop an App Like Grofers

Due to the rising demands and the shortage of time, the online grocery industry seems to be booming. Millions and millions of buyers rely on it regularly. Grofers is one such app that demands an online platform.

Grofers is a mobile and web-based platform that allows the consumer to order groceries online. The employees of Grofers pick up the items from their warehouse and deliver the items to the respective consumers.

Instacart is a grocery delivery and pick-up service which allows the consumer to order groceries online in the United States and Canada.

Therefore, it is similar to Grofers. The only difference is that Grofers is an Indian Company. It is owned and managed by Grofers India Private Limited, whereas Instacart is an American company.

There are various grocery apps like Big Basket, Instacart, Grofers, Amazon Pantry. In general, an average grocery app development cost is in between $8k- $50k including grocery delivery website or app.

However, the cost to develop these apps depends on multiple factors. For example, what features you want to add on the application, the geographic area, UI-UX of the app, etc.

App Features-

The cost can increase with the increase in the app features. The more fancy your app is, the more effective and expensive it can get.

Platform Choice-

Your choice of the app will depend majorly on the platform of your choice. Right now, android is the most go-to platform, followed by IOS. The grocery delivery app runs smoothly o both IOS and Android.

Cost as Per Location-

A location that gives you easy access to app developers will help you get the service at fair prices.

Development Team Size-

The more number of app developers involved, the more expenses and the more cost of the grocery delivery app.

In general, the grocery app development might take between 500 to 700 hours.

Types Of Grocery Mobile Apps**

There are various kinds of grocery mobile apps. Choose the one which you think is best for your business.

Aggregators-

this grocery app lists the various supermarkets in your neighbourhood. You can actually choose from where you want to place your order.

Grocery chains like Walmart have their on-request delivery platform suitable for small-scale orders.

Grocery Delivery-

Grofers in India or Instacart is a good example of a grocery delivery mobile app. This platform offers same-day delivery, 99.3% on-time conveyance, etc. Developing a similar app might work well for a start-up in the grocery delivery space.

Grocery List App-

BYOL: Bring Your Own Loss

Dear connoisseurs, I invite you to take a look inside Careem’s food delivery platform. Specifically, we are going to look at how we use machine learning to improve the customer experience for delivery time tracking.

Intro

When planning a meal, timing is crucial. This is why we take a lot of care estimating the delivery time of our orders. However, delivery time depends on several complicated factors — for this reason, machine learning is the right choice to predict what the ETA will be.

Careem’s Food Delivery platform interface for delivery time estimation

From a first glance, it is nothing but a typical regression problem: go get some features, train a reasonable model against historical delivery time to minimize RMSE, estimate expected decrease in average error with suitable cross-validation strategy and share it with leadership, deploy, announce it broadly and gain respect, trust, promotion…

In this post, I’m going to try and explain what is wrong with this approach. I will describe our solution to the problem and the way we measured user impact. I will then show you how we built a custom loss function to better optimize for user order satisfaction.

What is the problem

1. Training your model against RMSE.
2. RMSE, MAE, Huber, …etc losses are the typical choices for most regression problems. However, do any of these losses reflect how our customers’ stomach feels? The biggest problem is they are symmetric — they don’t distinguish between an order that is being delivered 20 minutes early or 20 minutes late. My gut can definitely tell the difference… It would be cool if our model showed a little more empathy.
3. Evaluating success via average error.
4. Here we go again. Imagine, your team has been working hard for a month setting real-time traffic data streaming with its costly infrastructure to get the features that would decrease the error, and now, it finally dropped from 3 minutes to 2.5 minutes on average! 20% gain, What a result! It was definitely worth it… Was it? Hard to say actually, it depends a lot on a particular problem. For us and for many other applications, there are high chances that the customers won’t even notice the change.
5. Gaining respect, trust, promotion.
6. This one is quite simple! Work for fun, not for a promotion!
