EDSA - Sendy Logistics Challenge

by EXPLORE Data Science Academy

Introduction

Logistics in Sub-Saharan Africa increases the cost of manufactured goods by up to 320%; while in Europe, it only accounts for up to 90% of the manufacturing cost. Economies are better when logistics is efficient and affordable. Sendy, in partnership with insight2impact facility, is hosting a Zindi challenge to predict the estimated time of delivery of orders, from the point of driver pickup to the point of arrival at final destination.
