- Why is it called last mile delivery?
To clarify, the last mile isn’t literally an actual mile, it’s often several miles that covers the final part of the delivery: The journey of a parcel from the warehouse to a customer’s doorstep.
This applies to various deliveries: from online order fulfillment to pharmaceuticals and even food.
While it sounds like a no-brainer, last-mile delivery operations are the most critical and challenging part of the logistics process. Delivery delays, rising fuel costs, or failed deliveries make last-mile deliveries notoriously complex.
- What is a last mile delivery platform, and what can it do for your business?
Last mile delivery software, as the name implies, helps you manage the final and most critical stage of the delivery process: the last mile.
