New Podcast: Richard Savoie on why AI is a match for logisitics, planning & travel

By Tony Carne

Rich Savoie is helping brands like Coke & Australia Post save millions on their logisitcs bills

Richard Savoie from Adiona is a patent-holding executive and engineer that is currently reinventing urban mobility, logistics, and transport planning.

His company Adiona is an award-winning AI-powered delivery route planning and optimization platform for large fleets, currently powering millions of deliveries globally for the world's best brands like Coca-Cola, Amazon, Australia Post, Marley Spoon, and more. It's up to 87% faster, 90% more accurate, and results in up to 50% lower cost than competing delivery optimization platforms.

We chat to Richard around why AI and logistics are such a good match for one another and how that funnels down to wins for the travel industry (if they are paying attention).
