Estimate delivery cost by distance. Enter distance in km and your logistics rate per km to get the total, plus the per-drop cost on a beat.
Delivery cost by distance is the simplest logistics number that matters: distance in km × your rate per km. It's the starting point for pricing a drop, quoting freight, or deciding whether a far-flung retailer is worth serving.
The more useful figure is cost per drop — spread the trip cost across the number of stops on a beat, and compare it against the margin each order earns. That's what tells you if a route pays.
A 50 km trip at ₹8/km costs ₹400. Across a beat with 20 drops, that's ₹20 per delivery — the number to weigh against the margin on each retailer's order.
Divide the total trip cost by the number of drops to get cost per delivery, then compare it against the average margin per order on that route. If per-drop cost approaches per-order margin, the route is bleeding money.
