Last-Mile Delivery Strategy

An accurately developed Last-Mile Delivery Strategy goes well beyond a ‘re-route’ and entails a modeling process to consider facility costs, fleet costs, delivery asset types, customer time windows, stop service time, customer drop analysis, and customer frequency analysis.

Typical scenarios include:

• Optimal number of delivery routes
• Number of delivery days per week
• Quantity/type of delivery vehicles (capability and capacity)
• Driver classification
• Route balancing (time vs. weight)
• Frequency of delivery by customer
• Drop size comparison

• Minimize miles driven, number of delivery vehicles utilized, and overall cost.
• Improve delivery service with better route planning considering constraints and client specifications such as delivery time windows.
• Maximize customer satisfaction with more on-time deliveries and minimal turnaround time to process orders.
