Logistics
Plan for where demand is going
Every blind spot in your network costs deliveries. With CARTO, analyze hubs, lockers, routes and fleets live, inside your own cloud.
Network decisions without the queue
Planners ask where to add a hub, depot or locker and get a ranked answer from live data and self-service tools, instead of joining a queue of GIS requests.
Plans that move with demand
Re-run a network plan on fresh volume, mobility and weather data the day demand shifts, not at the next annual review.
Maps your customers can use
Embed live maps in your own portal so shippers can explore their deliveries on the same data you run on.

Where logistics teams use CARTO
Hub, Depot & Network Planning
A hub in the wrong place costs you for years, yet most are sited from last year's volumes and a spreadsheet. With CARTO, test every option against live demand and drive times before you commit.
Fleet & Telematics Analytics
Fleet data arrives by the billion, and most tools can only sample it, so the trouble spots stay hidden. With CARTO, analyze every GPS ping and find where vehicles dwell, deviate and get stuck.
Locker & Pickup Point Networks
Failed deliveries start with a network that sits where parcels used to go, not where people are now. With CARTO, prove the demand for every locker and pickup point before you build it.
Last-Mile Delivery
A route plan built on yesterday's roads and depots misses today's deliveries. With CARTO, re-plan routes and service areas the moment conditions change. DPD Ireland is rolling CARTO route optimization out to more than 80% of its 40 depots, taking three to four vans off the road at each.

Frequently asked questions
Customers can track their own deliveries on live maps embedded in your customer portal. With CARTO, build those maps and apps on the shipment data already in your warehouse, branded as your own, and your permissions make sure each shipper only sees its own parcels and routes. Learn more for developers.
Logistics teams use it to decide where to put hubs and lockers, plan last-mile delivery and understand fleet movement. In CARTO that means catchment analysis, site scoring, demand forecasting, routing and hotspot analysis, all running on your own cloud data. Explore CARTO for Supply Chain Optimization.
Map parcel demand onto a spatial grid such as H3, measure what each candidate site can reach in drive time, then score every candidate on demand, access and cost. With CARTO, you run that as one repeatable workflow and compare scenarios when volumes change. Learn more about Site Selection.
Aggregate every GPS ping onto an H3 grid inside your warehouse, then use hotspot analysis to find where vehicles dwell, deviate or run into trouble. Nothing is sampled or copied out. On Snowflake? Learn how to run fleet intelligence there.
