Last Mile Delivery

The last leg of the transportation process in the supply chain is often considered the most crucial — and challenging — part of the process, because it requires getting goods to their destination quickly, efficiently and accurately, typically within a short distance.

Important aspects of last mile delivery for Cincinnati businesses to keep in mind include:

1. Distance: This can vary from a few blocks in cities to several miles in rural areas.
2. Speed: Customers expect fast delivery, often within hours or even minutes, especially in the context of e-commerce and on-demand services.
3. Cost: Last mile delivery can be costly due to fuel, labor and vehicle maintenance. Optimizing these costs is a constant challenge.
4. Traffic congestion: In urban areas, congestion can significantly slow down last mile deliveries and increase costs. Companies often need to find innovative solutions to navigate congested streets.
5. Customer experience: The last mile is the final touchpoint between a company and its customers, making it a key element in shaping the customer experience. Timeliness and communication with customers are vital.
6. Sustainability: With increasing awareness of environmental concerns, there is a growing emphasis on making last mile delivery more sustainable by

• • using electric vehicles,
  • optimizing routes and
  • reducing emissions.
