Challenge
The high total cost of ownership, for both the IoT hardware and the associated legacy data platform, coupled with the inability to effectively analyze data at scale, prevents the company from realizing the full potential of its IoT investments.
Issue
Millionsof unusable data points
internal integration challenges
Solution

Improving processes related to transport units to anticipate operations automatically in real-time, and generating a live qualitative analysis of transport operations.

Customer feedback

It's a paradigm shift. We never thought something like this would be possible. We are getting a real dynamic, AI-powered digital twin out of pure IoT data. The ROI for our operations is enormous.

Business case

La Poste wanted to move towards intelligent logistics by turning IoT data from postal containers into actionable business insights.

We wanted to conduct transportation analysis to find opportunities for improvement, optimization, and be able to identify anomalies.

Goals

  • Improve geolocation of heavy transport.
  • Improve asset utilization.
  • Provide data-driven decision support for transport management.
  • Predict operations in an automated way in real time.
  • Future-proof the system’s architecture.

Getting to intelligent logistics in a matter of days with Pathway

La Poste fed raw IoT data into Pathway. Thanks to the automatic analysis of sensor performance, La Poste was able to inform its purchasing strategy. The total cost of ownership was reduced because of the minimized hardware spend.

Pathway also provided them with a dynamic mapping of the transport process in an ever-changing context.

They were then able to advance to a mindset where the business can focus on routes, locations, and processes to be enhanced, rather than the per asset view delivered by the data source.

Pathway is changing the paradigm for Enterprise clients

In our previous solution, we were thinking about containers. Today we think of routes, platforms. The object being manipulated is much more powerful.
