Collection
or distribution of products is an essential function and important cost component
of many businesses. It can be a very demanding logistic exercise in rural India
where transport is possible only along specific routes and communication links can
be weak. Besides, the local transport network and burgeoning hamlets may not even
be represented on any map. So, modelling the geographical area, showing a company’s
collection and distribution points, are the beginning of IT interventions to help
staff plan and monitor collection and distribution, while sitting in their office.
We have successfully created the most detailed transport network for rural districts
and algorithms to represent FMCG product distribution for companies like ITC and
for milk collection co-operatives.
