Abstract:
An approach for managing delivery of packages utilizing one or more vehicles is disclosed. The approach includes loading delivery vehicles in a such a way that, based on contextual need of offloading of the packages from the delivery vehicles, the approach will selectively offload the packages from the delivery vehicle to on-demand warehouse as service location along the route of the delivery vehicle. The delivery vehicles can proactively analyze various contextual situation, and can identify which and how much products are to be off-loaded from the delivery vehicles, and can proactively book warehouse as a service location along with the route of the delivery vehicle so that the products can be transferred from a transportation vehicle to on-demand warehouse as a service location effectively and efficiently.
