What is Last-Mile Delivery?

Last-mile delivery is the final stage of a product’s journey from the warehouse to the final consumer. It is the most crucial step of the logistics process, and companies need to ensure that it is as fast and efficient as possible.

This allows businesses in the eCommerce industries to stay competitive and satisfy the growing demand for affordable and fast shipping. The final mile delivery happens to be the most expensive and time-consuming step of the delivery process. However, thanks to Flood Brothers Commercial Relocation, final mile delivery doesn’t have to be stressful.

Steps to the Final Mile Services

• Entry of orders into the system: This is where the sender and the recipient track the delivery status.
• The arrival of orders to the transportation hub: The orders received are then sent to the transportation hub awaiting fast delivery.
• Designation to delivery personnel: The packages are sorted based on the consumers’ addresses and routes then designated to different delivery personnel. Designating the orders strategically makes the delivery process more cost-effective.
• Scanning orders: Your order is first scanned before its loaded on the truck. This helps to ensure you stay posted on the order status and reduces the risk of losing delivery packages along the way.
• Delivery: The order finally gets to the recipient, where the delivery personnel will verify and confirm the successful completion of the delivery process. Verification and confirmation are excellent ways to ensure that the order is delivered to the right recipient.
