What is multi-drop?

Multi-drop is a logistic term that refers to a system of delivery where a driver visits multiple stops to deliver goods, collecting items or passengers during the same journey. Multi-drop deliveries are common for companies such as couriers, postal services, and the retail industry, where they require multiple customers or locations to be served while utilizing the same driver and vehicle. The system aims to optimize operations by reducing the number of vehicles needed to make deliveries and, thus, minimizing fuel costs and reducing CO2 emissions. Multi-drop systems are beneficial for businesses as they allow for more efficient routing, reduced delivery times, and increased delivery capabilities. However, it also requires careful planning and management for the system to be efficient.
