what3words and logistics.cloud

logistics.cloud is using what3words to improve static location data accuracy and increase logistics efficiencies. The partnership enables logistics.cloud customers to specify precise pick-up and drop-off locations quickly and easily, using just three words.

United in a mission to improve last-mile logistics efficiencies, the two companies, together with a cargo airline, will enable logistics carrier to define the exact drop-off point at airports, which can waste time and result in damages to goods (particularly perishable items). By embracing what3words’ innovation, logistics.cloud can optimise the delivery process and provide an even smoother service.

An increasingly on-demand economy means that consumer expectations are rising, and businesses are under pressure to meet these demands while still protecting their margins. A common barrier prohibiting fast, seamless deliveries at airports is the challenge of communicating the precise delivery location. Street addresses cannot guide drivers to the right entrance, and the sites cover extremely large areas posing a challenge to delivery drivers.

what3words solves this problem. It’s an easy way to identify precise locations. Every 3 metre square has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. what3words addresses are available in over 45 languages and it is the first addressing system optimised for voice input, eliminating many of the frustrations of using voice to enter street addresses.
