Last Mile Delivery Challenges
The last mile is the shortest leg of the supply chain and the most expensive one. It now accounts for 53% of total shipping costs – up from 41% in 2018 – and it’s the exact moment where customer relationships are won or lost. If you’re a brand or logistics manager watching delivery costs climb […]
