The Conference

“The Last Mile” is used as a term to describe the last stage in the e-commerce chain, from the distribution hub to the end consumer/final destination. In 2020, global retail leaders faced many operational challenges as the pandemic drove unprecedented ecommerce order volume. Perhaps none bigger than the logistics of delivering orders placed online. Ideally, packages are delivered as quickly as possible in the final shipping phase for a seamless delivery process that reduces disputes and boosts customer satisfaction.

Staying updated on last mile delivery trends can help companies improve logistics and gain a technological edge over the competition. With more innovation and increasing consumer demand, it’s imperative for companies that rely on shipping to look at all the current and future options available for alternative delivery transportation, leading to fast-tracked operational creativity and innovations across their organizations.

Why is Last Mile Delivery crucial?

  • With 75% of companies reporting supply chain disruption this year, it is clear the pandemic has caused major issues
  • E-commerce rose by a record 44% in Q4
  • Analyst McKinsey reports that consumers, especially millennials, are prepared to pay a 30% premium for same-day delivery, and even more for guaranteed delivery
  • Same-day delivery is expected to reach a 25% market share by 2025, and with surcharges becoming acceptable, delivery is becoming a profit center in its own right
  • It just takes one bad delivery to damage a brand’s reputation. Α failed delivery is not when a parcel doesn’t turn up — it’s when it doesn’t come according to the customer expectations.

8 crucial topics on Last Mile


  1. Faster Order Handling – Customers know what they want, and for many customers it’s getting their products as soon as possible. Logistics will become increasingly important as supply chains find ways to rapidly fulfill orders to meet customer expectations, especially for same-day delivery.
  2. Package Traceability– Package traceability is evolving to become more sophisticated, reliable, and accurate thanks to smartphone apps with GPS features.
  3. In-House Delivery– Various companies are using their own in-house fleet of vehicles for deliveries from warehouses to recipient destinations.
  4. In-House Warehousing– many companies have expanded warehouse space to accommodate their own delivery system.
  5. Investing in Smart Technology– Fulfillment centers have invested in smart technology to monitor products in terms of temperature, humidity, and other factors. Smart technology helps protect the quality and shelf life of products.
  6. Robots and Drones Become More Active– While drivers have not yet been replaced by robots or drones, the development of autonomous vehicles is underway and should eventually be a game-changer. Due to the high cost of delivery, transportation companies of the future will view robots and drones as effective cost-cutting strategies.
  7. Real-Time Transparency – Another key trend in the final mile is technology which allows real time visibility and transparency over the final mile. It also means that they can automatically update customers on the parcel’s arrival time.
  8. Industry Partnerships – With all the challenges that lay ahead for businesses, partnering with final-mile experts is essential to survive. Finding a final-mile partner is the obvious route for a fast, low-cost, low-risk solution which enables logistics businesses to focus on what they do best further up the supply chain and their final-mile partner focuses on what they do best.
