ORTEC Americas, a leading provider of advanced analytics and optimization solutions, has been named “Last Mile Platform of the Year” in the 4th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products, and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe.

ORTEC’S Last Mile Solutions harness AI-driven optimization to improve real-time routing, resource allocation, and overall delivery performance. The platform seamlessly integrates real-time data sources, including order details, traffic conditions, and geographical constraints, and utilizes advanced analytics to identify optimal delivery patterns. By analyzing these factors, ORTEC’s AI-powered algorithms craft the most efficient routes, ensuring deliveries are completed within promised windows and enabling businesses to cut down unnecessary mileage.

Beyond route optimization, ORTEC’s dynamic planning capabilities help businesses to swiftly adapt deliveries in the face of real-world disruptions such as weather delays. ORTEC’s intelligent resource allocation ensures efficient utilization of vehicles and drivers, minimizing operational waste and maximizing productivity.

With traffic congestion (18%), strict delivery time windows (20%), and vehicle capacity constraints (22%) ranking among the top barriers to last-mile efficiency, according to an ORTEC industry survey earlier this year, ORTEC’s platform directly addresses these challenges. By reducing unnecessary mileage – cited by 22% of companies as a major cost driver – ORTEC empowers businesses to lower fuel consumption and costs while maintaining delivery precision.

The company offers a six-step framework to cover the entire process. It starts with Prediction, using historical data to forecast demand and estimate the capacity required. The forecasted information is then used to simulate and model upcoming operations. Customers then have the opportunity to book their own time slot and plan and schedule the day of operations. The plan is then executed through real-time overview and control of the plan’s realization. Organizations have full control, monitoring operations with transparency over all operational data & KPIs. Lastly, intelligent analytics apps are used to continuously improve business.

This level of adaptability is especially critical as nearly 70% of companies frequently adjust delivery routes in real-time, with 39% making changes multiple times a day. Nearly half of businesses also express dissatisfaction with their current route optimization tools, highlighting the urgent need for smarter, more agile solutions like ORTEC’s.

“With businesses under mounting pressure to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and meet rising customer expectations, AI emerges as a transformative solution to minimize inefficiencies and bolster operational resilience. Companies who have implemented smarter route optimization are seeing more enhanced delivery accuracy and consistency due to informed data-driven decisions,” said Mat Witte, CEO of ORTEC Americas. “Thank you to SupplyTech Breakthrough for this recognition. We’ll continue to integrate AI into our Last-Mile solutions, setting the standard with an innovative approach, and equipping companies to overcome barriers to successful last-mile delivery, lower their fulfillment costs, improve capacity, and provide an exceptional customer experience.”

The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions, and products in the supply chain and logistics industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.

“By redefining operational efficiency, reducing costs, and boosting on-time delivery performance, ORTEC’s Last Mile Solutions set a new standard for innovation in logistics. Last-mile delivery is an incredibly challenging and costly aspect of logistics, with most companies adjusting delivery routes in real-time, and making additional changes multiple times a day,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “ORTEC is leading the charge to address these challenges with its cutting-edge Last Mile Solutions. Empowering businesses with AI-driven insights and automation, ORTEC modernizes last-mile delivery into a seamless, cost-effective, and customer-centric process making this transformative solution our pick for 2025 ‘Last Mile Platform of the Year’!”

As logistics costs continue to rise, businesses must seek solutions that optimize fuel usage and minimize carbon footprints, all while adapting to future growth. ORTEC’s AI-powered technology delivers on both fronts – supporting sustainability goals and enabling organizations to scale seamlessly.
