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 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.
