    What is Last Mile Problem and why should you care

    Last mile delivery is a major issue for businesses, especially those requiring delivery from warehouses to customers such as e-commerce. The issue is fundamental in that it deals with efficiencies in the delivery logistics itself whereby they are not done in bulk and in batches for obvious reasons. The issue has been coined "The Last Mile Problem".

    The Last Mile Problem is essentially bridging almost literally, the last mile of delivery for goods from distribution hubs to end users  the customers.

    While the global logistics system is capable of transporting large amount of goods in cargos from miles across the world, it is the last mile that is often the biggest issue. The last mile delivery experience is especially important in terms of providing customers with a service that is personalized, efficient and convenient for them. This experience can directly affect a company’s ratings, reviews and eventually its reputation.

    There are countless problems that last mile delivery faces. As shopping online has increasingly become more convenient and practical, the shift from brick and mortar to online stores has also been increasing.

    Businesses have been trying to live up to customers’ expectations. According to beverage industry, research has shown that 28% of total delivery cost comes from the implementation of the e-commerce last mile delivery. This is mainly due to the inefficiency of delivering goods. Factors such as incorrect address, difficulty finding locations, no one at home to receive orders, likelihood of returns and many other issues. All these add up to the cost and time involved in last mile delivery.

    This is why, businesses constantly want to improve the quality of experience by incorporating latest technologies to optimize their services. While businesses are doing their best to reduce this cost, most companies will choose to provide a better experience by looking into high-technology system despite the cost.

    For businesses delivering fresh goods, it is ideal that they reach the customers immediately when they are at home, as the goods cannot just be left to rot on the customer's’ doorsteps while they are at work.

    While for online retail stores, traditional delivery hours operate from 9am-6pm and this is the time when most people are still at work. According to E-Commerce Nation, 20% of deliveries fail on the first attempt when delivering to residential buildings mostly due to the fact that no one is at home and the parcel could not fit into the mailbox. No doubt it is possible to deliver to the office but that creates another concern of lugging your parcel home (especially when you shop too much) or simply because you want to be discreet about your buys.
