ZIPpy Packages: Zoning the Map to Universalize One-Day Shipping

Description

Using the Google API and our "ZIP Zones", we developed a robust and adaptable model that draws from economics, transportation theory, and even geography to determine a “Cost Savings Index” (“CSI”) and determine the optimal way for companies to provide one-day shipping to customers.
