How does last mile delivery works?
Each step of the supply chain process is important however, the final mile is where the biggest impact can be created for customers’ experience. If a product is delivered damaged or late or never arrives in a timely manner specially for pharmaceuticals deliveries, there’s a high possibility that the customer is likely to shop elsewhere next time. In essence, the this is where the company carries their values, their image and their commitment to the door of the customer.
When the supplier or client receives order, our system will offer a wide range of options to choose the one that fits your needs. At the scheduled time, we will collect the order, transport it to the warehouse (hub), and from there to its final destination.
The next step is assigning the driver, vehicle and planning the delivery route. Before loading and dispatching, all of the goods will be double scanned to prevent and avoid any mistakes and update the shipment status.
Lastly, when the shipment reaches its final destination. The client signature is needed to update the system as proof of safe and successful delivery.
If the package is instant it will go directly to the customer but when they choose next day delivery the goods might go to the hub, where they will be scanned and register into our system until the order is ready for the final destination.
Once your shipment is out, the client will be provided with a live tracking. He can track shipment location, and the driver’s contact details from the hub to the final destination.
