Best Practices for Last Mile Delivery
Strategies, tactics and technologies of leading service, retail and distribution companies to create an experience that makes a difference to your customers

Industry leaders have proven that they can compete on the strength of their delivery and mobile service capabilities. The myth that higher service levels result in increased costs has been dispelled and, in fact, when combined with value-added services, delivery becomes a significant revenue generator. What were considered leading edge delivery capabilities five years ago are now considered “table stakes” and companies that do not take a deep look at their delivery and mobile service capabilities will quickly find themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Every best-in-class delivery and mobile service company has a few capabilities in common.
