Companies that use Customer Order and Network Density OptimizeR (CONDOR)

Customer Order and Network Density OptimizeR (CONDOR) is an advanced algorithm developed by Amazon researchers to improve the efficiency of package deliveries. By analyzing customer orders and the density of delivery networks, CONDOR optimizes the assignment of shipments to delivery routes, reducing the number of routes needed and enhancing overall delivery efficiency. The algorithm builds upon existing methods in operations research, particularly the prize-collecting vehicle routing problem (PCVRP), to determine the best way to consolidate deliveries and minimize costs. Since its deployment, CONDOR has shown to reduce routing resources required by approximately 0.5%, leading to significant potential savings across Amazon's extensive delivery network.
