In this debut episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I chat with Rich Savoie, Co-founder and CEO of Adiona, about how data-driven optimisation and electric fleets are transforming last-mile logistics. Rich’s work with giants like Coca-Cola and Australia Post proves that sustainability and resilience aren’t trade-offs, they’re multipliers.

You’ll hear how Adiona’s algorithms cut drive time by nearly half, reduced trucks by 15%, and delivered major emissions savings, all without slowing operations. We dig into why the “last mile” is the shortest leg of the supply chain but the dirtiest, and how real-time data, human-centred AI, and electrification can flip that equation. You might be surprised to learn how labour costs, not fuel, dominate delivery economics, and why getting data transparency right could unlock exponential efficiency.

We also touch on the future: from cargo bikes to quantum computing, and why Rich believes fleets that fail to embrace EVs now will be left idling on the kerb.

🎙️ Listen now to hear how Rich Savoie and Adiona are rewriting the rules of sustainable, resilient last-mile logistics — one optimised route at a time.
