FAST DELIVERY ## How far should the delivery area reach, and in what order should the route run? The sectors page asks this on its Fast Delivery card. The question has two halves, and so does this page — area first, then route. In the fast delivery sector, accurate location strategies are critical for operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Next Geo helps you gain a competitive advantage by optimizing your distribution networks with its robust data infrastructure and AI-powered technologies. ON THIS PAGE · FIVE PARTS 01 Area: how far it should reach Where the boundary stops, where it overlaps the neighbouring centre, which order addresses fall outside it. SAMPLE COVERAGE OUTPUT→ 02 Route: in what order it should run How a single day inside that area is covered; the sequence, timing and distance of each stop. SAMPLE DAY ROUTE→ 03 Four analysis titles Our offered values, as four rows that each resolve into a named solution or product. 2 SOLUTIONS · 2 PRODUCTS→ 04 How we start The three steps from your address list to the day’s stop order, and what sits behind each one. THREE STEPS→ 05 Next step Let’s draw your delivery area and your route from your own address list. CONTACT→ 4ANALYSIS TITLES 2SOLUTION PAGES 2PRODUCT PAGES All three numbers can be counted from this page: the four analysis titles below, and the two solution pages and two product pages they resolve into. 01 · AREA ### Where does the boundary stop? How far a distribution centre should serve: where the boundary stops, where it overlaps the neighbouring centre, and which order addresses fall outside it. DELIVERY AREA Sample distribution centre · Kadıköy, İstanbul SAMPLE COVERAGE BY DRIVE TIME 5 min drive 38,900 10 min drive 84,300 15 min drive 121,000 RECOMMENDED BOUNDARY the 10-minute drive band Neighbourhoods covered Overlap with the neighbouring centre 11% Order addresses outside the area Extending to fifteen minutes widens coverage, but it widens the overlap with the neighbouring centre too. Where the boundary stops is decided by comparing these three bands; the addresses left outside are a second centre's business. Thick white boundaries cut the city map into four coloured territories, pink, blue-grey, purple and pale lilac, each holding a square depot marker in its own colour. Distribution Area Optimization · the shared boundaries of four delivery areas The figures in the delivery area panel above are illustrative. Real reports are produced from your own branch and order address lists. 02 · ROUTE ### How is the order built? In what order the day is covered inside that area: once the addresses sit on the right points, the sequence, timing and distance of each stop. THE DAY’S ROUTE Sample route · 18 drops · 4 stops SAMPLE STOP ORDER AND ARRIVAL TIME 09:10 01 Caferağa 6 drops · 1.2 km 09:26 02 Osmanağa 4 drops · 0.8 km 09:41 03 Rasimpaşa 5 drops · 1.5 km 09:58 04 Hasanpaşa 3 drops · 1.1 km TOTAL 18 drops · 4.6 km · 48 min The order is built from address density, drive time and the traffic layer. It cannot be produced until the addresses sit on the right points — which is why Geocoding comes before the route title below. A pink line starts at the navy A marker, threads through stops numbered 1 to 5 and closes into a loop swinging west; below it read 24.8 km, 11 drops and 2 h 10 min. Route Optimization · one sequence linking a single day’s stops The figures in the sample route strip above are illustrative. 03 · OUR OFFERED VALUES ### Four analysis titles for fast delivery. Each of the four resolves into a named Next Geo solution or product, and the two sample panels above are what these four titles produce. The whole row is the link to that page; there is no separate “more info” link. #### Area: how far should it reach? Distribution Area Optimization SOLUTION · OPTIMIZATION→ Increase operational efficiency by optimizing the locations and distribution areas of your branches or agencies according to criteria such as distance, customer potential, and other branch areas. Branch Location Selection SOLUTION · LOCATION AND AREA SELECTION→ Make the most accurate branch location selection decisions and increase your market share by analyzing the locations of competitor branches, street densities, and market statistics. A cream card on deep navy with a pink stripe down its left edge shows a huge pink 81 beside a navy /100 under the score heading, and the candidate depot line below a thin rule. Branch Location Selection · the one point where demand is densest #### Route: in what order should it run? Geocoding Services PRODUCT · ADDRESS SOLUTIONS→ Minimize the risk of destination errors and achieve maximum operational efficiency by determining the geographical locations of your delivery addresses. Route Optimization PRODUCT · LOCATION ANALYSIS MOBILE→ Save time and costs by planning your delivery routes most efficiently. Create the most suitable routes by considering traffic density, delivery priorities, and time constraints with our AI-powered algorithms. Area and Route are a reading order, not a separate product family: all four titles run on the same data infrastructure. The titles and their descriptions are the ones listed on the Fast Delivery card on /en/sectors/. The Route Optimization row resolves into Location Analysis Mobile, the product whose own feature list carries the route creation and traffic layer its description names. 04 · HOW WE START ### From your address list to the day’s stop order. Three steps. Behind each one is a named Next Geo solution or product; there is no surprise layer in between. #### Addresses become points Your branch and order addresses arrive as text; they are matched, de-duplicated and verified. For as long as one address sits on the wrong coordinate, neither the area figure nor the stop order comes out right. Matching Enrichment De-duplication Verification #### The boundary is drawn Each distribution centre is attached to drive-time bands, address density and the boundaries of its neighbouring centres. The service area and responsibility zone are defined on the map, and the addresses left outside are listed separately. Drive-time band Service Area Definitions Address-Based Coverage Analysis #### The day’s order is built The addresses inside the area are sequenced to fit a single day; distance, duration and the traffic layer all enter the order. The output opens in the field team’s pocket and can be shared during the day. Route Creation Traffic Layer Location Sharing Two street maps side by side: on the left a wide grey-blue uncertainty circle around the address dot, on the right the same streets with a much smaller pink circle sitting on the building. Geocoding Services · the first step: every address on one correct point The Address Solutions page counts its own users: delivery, cargo and logistics firms; multi-branch retail brands; and call-centre and customer-service teams. If you deliver through your own store network, Next Geo has a separate Retail sector page. 05 · NEXT STEP ### Let’s draw your delivery area together. Let us work out how far each centre’s area should reach, and in what order the route should run, from your own address list. Next Geo · Maslak, İstanbul · +90 (212) 276 22 33
