Last-mile is more than delivering packages. It encompasses everything associated with the final leg of the e-commerce journey and accounts for a large portion of your supply chain spend. But did you know that transportation times and rates are only one factor to consider?
Driving the final mile
Activities carried out during the fulfilment process often shape the results of your last-mile performance. While using multiple fulfilment centres closer to your customers shortens transit times, so does the order-picking schedule. Being able to process orders on the same day they are received can be a game-changer. It allows you to meet earlier pickup windows and ship faster to buyers—without the added cost of expedited delivery. Our last-mile solutions consider all the lead-in processes to create the optimal outcome from order receipt to customer delivery.
