How Last-Mile Tech Solutions Can Help Logistics Firms Win During Festive Season Sales
With the festive season right around the corner, here are a few ways in which businesses can meet the challenges of last-mile deliveries by adopting advanced technologies
The festive season in India is a crucial time for e-commerce companies, with the value of goods sold online during the first week of the 2021 festive sales period estimated at around USD 4.6 billion, according to RedSeer Consulting. The e-commerce sector in India is expected to grow to USD 74.8 billion in 2022, a 21% increase from the previous year, and rapid expansion of last-mile delivery networks is crucial to meet the high demand, especially in Tier II cities. However, last-mile delivery can account for over 50% of shipping costs, and the pressure to make deliveries within shorter time frames is increasing. To meet these challenges, e-commerce and logistics companies are adopting advanced last-mile technology solutions, which can bring scalable efficiencies, new levels of customer delight, and end-to-end visibility for superior decision-making. Such solutions include dispatch management platforms, geocoding, route planning algorithms, carrier management, and tracking pages.
