What is Last Mile Delivery?

In the world of ecommerce logistics, the “last mile” refers to the final leg of a product’s journey from the distribution center to the customer’s doorstep. This phase is critical as it represents the last interaction point between the ecommerce retailer and the customer. The efficiency, transparency, and convenience of this step can significantly influence the customer’s overall shopping experience.

“In working with our clients, we’ve pinpointed the most common challenges they face when implementing a Last Mile Delivery system that works for them. These challenges include:

Customers expect swift deliveries, often within a specified time window, creating pressure on logistics operations to meet these demands.
Ensuring precise delivery locations is crucial to avoid delays or failed deliveries.
Traffic and route optimization is essential for on-time deliveries.
Last mile logistics can account for a significant portion of overall delivery costs. Finding cost-effective solutions is important.
Providing real-time updates and clear communication channels is vital for customer satisfaction.

The last mile plays a massive role in shaping the end customer’s perception of an ecommerce brand. A seamless last mile experience not only ensures timely delivery but also offers features like real-time tracking, flexible delivery options, and clear communication.”

Streamlining the Last Mile for BAUHAUS

BAUHAUS, the Swedish home improvement giant, depended on third-party delivery services to deliver building materials to customers. Depending on several external partners made the delivery process costly, slow, and unreliable, as the third parties did not provide the customer experience level that BAUHAUS wanted to provide.

Vaimo helped BAUHAUS develop a native iOS app with distribution and driver modes.

Customers can select delivery slots and pay extra for a custom delivery time. Customers can also track delivery vehicles in real-time, choose unattended deliveries, and rate the service post-delivery to allow for improved customer experience.
