A control system performs a method for configuring a delivery system that includes first storages with predefined positions, second storages with variable positions, and unmanned aerial vehicles which are operable to transport goods between destination points and the first and second storages. The method includes obtaining position data for the destination points, operating a clustering algorithm on the position data to determine clusters of destination points, and evaluating the clusters in relation to the predefined positions of the first storages to determine a set of stopping positions for at least one of the second storages. The stopping position(s) may thereby be adapted in a resource efficient way to improve the overall capabilities of the delivery system.
