Many people are shopping from home during the pandemic, and a top online shopping site in Southeast Asia, Lazada, recently held their 9.9 Big Brand Sale.
Lazada’s Big Brand Sale is the equivalent of the US Black Friday but for Southeast Asia, offering the best deals on its biggest brands in the country. Also, users can follow the progress of selected shipped packages on a live map in real-time.
Lazada uses Mapbox maps SDK and Directions API to build new features that allow you to track your deliveries on the map. Users of Lazada have a great demand for real-time delivery routing during the period of Big Brand Sales, with more than 2.5 million people visiting Mapbox maps in the Lazada app each day.
With Lazada’s maps, you watch the progress of your most awaited package in a simple map style that shows only the necessary shipping information. So whether you’re waiting for your new laptop delivery or wondering if your Mid-Autumn Festival present will make it in time, check the Lazada map for the up-to-the-minute status of exactly where your package is and when it will arrive.
For e-commerce and logistics use cases, Mapbox has a range of tools to optimize route planning, improve driver efficiency, and manage fleets in real-time for customers.
Our Optimization API allows customers to quickly optimize multi-stop routes. You can pass up to 12 locations to the API and it will return the optimal stops based on travel time. You will also get detailed turn-by-turn guidance and accurate ETA predictions for each stop.
Are you looking for a solution to accelerate your e-commerce business globally? No matter the customer side, seller side, our logistics side. The map itself and related AI technology will help you to optimize business routes. Feel free to contact the Mapbox APAC team:apac-bd@mapbox.com.
