Description
Ridgeline optimizes bike courier routes around real elevation, bike-lane availability, and time-of-day traffic patterns, not just shortest-path routing meant for cars. Cut average delivery time by 18% for two regional courier networks.
Problem
Generic routing software optimizes for cars, which gives bike couriers directions that ignore hills, bike-lane gaps, and door-to-door realities.
Solution
A routing engine built specifically around bike-relevant constraints: elevation, protected lane coverage, and real historical delivery times by courier, not car traffic data repurposed.
Target market
Regional bike courier and last-mile delivery networks.
Business model
Per-courier monthly SaaS fee.

An 18% cut in delivery time is a real number, not a rounding-error pitch stat.
