In logistics, data and analytics are everything. With access to data, 3PL logistics providers and warehouses can ensure that deliveries get where they need to be when they need to. It allows you to keep customers up to date every step of the way and ensure they are left smiling.

Data access is particularly important in last-mile delivery. This is the final stretch where packages are delivered from distribution centres to a customer’s doorstep, and it is often the most critical part of the supply chain.

Missed deliveries and reschedules can quickly lead to customer frustration and resource waste. But with the right data, you can ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible.

The Importance of Last Mile Delivery

A positive delivery experience is essential for customer satisfaction; much of this comes down to good last-mile delivery. It’s about more than ensuring packages arrive in people’s hands—it directly impacts customer experience, brand reputation, and operational costs.

However, the variables involved, such as traffic conditions, delivery time windows, and route optimisation, make achieving optimal performance challenging. However, with access to meaningful analytics, you can ensure your decisions are backed by data.
