Managing big data has become increasingly important to businesses as big data analytics can transform big data into insightful information. But, not many companies utilize it efficiently and effectively. While many companies in the transportation industry are facing many challenges with big data, United Parcel Service (UPS) is successfully applying big data analytics to logistics. UPS’s proprietary routing software, called ORION (On-Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation), uses package-level detail and customized online map data to provide drivers with optimized routing information. In 2013, ORION resulted in reductions of more than 1.5 million gallons of fuel and 14,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. This paper discusses UPS’s innovative path to optimization from data gathering to visualization.
