Last mile operations, running at full intelligence

Cadence Analytics helps route-based businesses close the gap between what their data says and what their operation does — through routing expertise, analytical rigor, and practical AI integration that actually works in the field.

What we do

Four pillars. One operational focus.

Every engagement draws from routing expertise, logistics knowledge, business intelligence, and AI capability — in whatever proportion your operation needs.

01 — Routing Support
Route optimization & benchmarking
Independent validation of routing software estimates against real driver performance — and the calibration work to make them accurate.
Route optimization software benchmarking and driver-specific calibration
Territory design, reroute strategy, and boundary balancing
Pre-launch dual validation before customer window changes
02 — Logistics Support
Operational analysis & process design
Deep operational knowledge applied to workflow, system, and process challenges across the full last mile operation.
Fleet telematics platform assessment and data infrastructure review
Workflow redesign and process documentation
Driver performance frameworks and operational benchmarks
03 — Business Information Support
Operational data into business decisions
Turning the data your operation already generates into reporting, dashboards, and analysis that leadership can actually act on.
Customer retention and churn analysis at invoice level
Operational dashboards and executive reporting
Cost-per-stop, density, and profitability analysis by route
04 — AI Integration
Practical AI for last mile operations
AI tools applied to real operational problems — not as a concept, but as a working part of your analysis, reporting, and decision-making workflow.
AI-assisted benchmarking, pattern recognition, and variance analysis
API integration and workflow automation for routing operations
AI tool selection, implementation, and team enablement
How we work

Project-based or ongoing — built around your needs

Some clients need a focused engagement to solve a specific problem. Others need an ongoing analytical partner. We work both ways.

Project engagement
Defined scope, clear deliverable
A bounded engagement with a specific objective — a benchmarking analysis, a reroute, a data infrastructure assessment, or an AI integration project. Defined timeline, defined output, clear value.
Route optimization software benchmarking and driver calibration
Full territory reroute with pre-launch validation
Fleet telematics data quality audit and remediation plan
Customer churn analysis and retention framework
Ongoing retainer
Analytical partner, month to month
Regular access to routing expertise, analytical support, and AI-assisted operational insight — without the overhead of a full-time hire. The right model for operations that need ongoing analytical capacity.
Monthly route performance analysis and calibration updates
Ongoing dashboard and reporting support
On-call routing and logistics advisory
Continuous AI integration and tool development
The process

From noise to signal — in four steps

01
Understand the data landscape
We start by understanding what data you have, how it's captured, and where the quality issues are. Most operations have more useful data than they realize — and more noise than they know.
02
Identify the signal
Through statistical analysis and AI-assisted pattern recognition, we isolate what's actually driving performance variance — separating controllable variables from structural constants.
03
Build and validate the model
Calibration frameworks, driver-specific parameters, and validation processes ensure recommendations hold up against real-world performance before they become operational decisions.
04
Deliver actionable output
Reports, route plans, dashboards, and documentation your team can act on — not analysis that lives in a slide deck and gets forgotten.

Home delivery revenue doubled through data-driven route strategy during Covid demand surge

Thirty years in route-based logistics — from newspaper delivery operations to directing enterprise home delivery across two major metro markets. When Covid-19 hit and a regional home delivery client was receiving hundreds of new delivery requests a day, I designed the overflow route strategy that absorbed 18,000 new customers without a single existing customer noticing a change in their service.

That experience — and the analytical framework built around it — is the foundation of Cadence Analytics. Most operations have the data to make dramatically better decisions. They just need someone who knows how to ask the right questions of it.
