While the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic is now several years behind us, the lasting impact on supply chains, consumer expectations, and delivery operations is undeniable. If the past few years taught us anything, it’s that agility is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. The ability to rapidly adjust delivery plans, reroute shipments, and redeploy assets in real time is now the baseline for competitive logistics teams.

Operational Agility: A Post-Pandemic Imperative

Today’s last-mile fleets face different — but equally demanding — challenges. From severe weather events and labor shortages to fluctuating demand patterns and increasingly narrow delivery windows, change is constant. Whether you’re navigating a seasonal surge, a sudden uptick in new accounts, or managing delivery constraints due to city regulations, static routing simply can’t keep up.

This is where the need for dynamic, machine learning-powered routing has become essential.

From Static to Strategic: Rerouting with Confidence

At Wise Systems, we’ve worked with customers across beverage, foodservice, retail, and industrial supply who made the leap from fixed routes to flexible, optimized plans. For many, that shift wasn’t just a tech upgrade — it was the difference between staying ahead or falling behind in a volatile market.

Gartner continues to highlight the need for this kind of agility. Their guidance to logistics leaders includes the use of Vehicle Routing and Scheduling (VRS) systems to enable real-time redeployment of assets and dynamic plan adjustment — a direct reflection of how platforms like Wise drive value today.

With Wise, you gain:

• Real-time rerouting and redeployment of drivers and vehicles

• Heatmaps and alerts to understand at-risk areas or time-sensitive deliveries

• Scalable territory planning to support new customer onboarding or delivery model shifts

• Scenario planning for anything from 4-day workweeks to major route redesigns

Supporting Your Team Through Every Change

While we can’t predict every disruption ahead, we can make sure your routing strategy is built to adapt. Whether you’re trying to support new service models, respond to unplanned shifts in volume, or optimize for driver safety and efficiency, Wise helps you make smarter, faster decisions every day.

Today’s last-mile leaders aren’t just delivering packages — they’re delivering resilience. Let’s make your routing strategy just as dynamic as the world it operates in.
