Securing Last Mile Delivery for Building Supply Distributors
In the world of building supply distribution, last-mile delivery is where reputations are made or lost. Distributors are facing increasing challenges: tighter delivery windows, rising operational costs, job site disputes, and growing customer expectations. To stay competitive, companies must rethink how they manage their fleets, job site deliveries, and overall last-mile logistics strategy.
In this on-demand web seminar, hosted by SupplyChainBrain’s Editor-in-Chief Bob Bowman and presented by Descartes, industry leaders discuss how distributors can overcome delivery complexity using fleet management technology, route optimization software, and real-time delivery tracking.
“Today’s job site expectations are more intense than ever. Contractors want transparency from order to delivery—and distributors who can't provide that risk losing the business.”
