Last mile logistics refers to those activities that take place in the last segment of a logistics network<\/strong>, when the goods are transferred to the final recipient. It seems a rather simple concept, however, several factors complicate the execution.<\/p>\n

In fact last mile deliveries usually represent up to 40% of the total cost of all transport<\/strong> operations in the supply chain and are therefore clearly inefficient. Last mile logistics is the most expensive and also the least environmentally<\/strong> friendly part of the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n

Right now in Operinter<\/a> we provide customers with the most appropriate means of transport to ensure fast and accurate deliveries<\/a> depending on the destination and volume<\/strong> of each shipment. In fact, we can develop ecologically efficient tailor-made logistics plans with vehicles powered by clean energy.<\/p>\n

But the great revolution in last mile logistics will come when, to a greater extent, modern technology<\/strong> is applied and variables such as volume, variety or speed can be controlled. This is where the role of Big Data<\/strong> comes in, a last mile solution that can help reduce costs and increase customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Big Data<\/h2>\n

Some of the advantages of this technology<\/strong> are:<\/p>\n

1 -It helps to improve the shipping routes<\/strong> thanks to the information collected on the traffic in the area and on the weather.<\/p>\n

2 -It serves to know the behavior of customers<\/strong>, what they think of the company etc. through the information in Social Networks.<\/p>\n

3- Streamline and optimize processes<\/strong> using data collected at all stages of the logistics process.<\/p>\n

In addition, last mile urban transport is also directed towards aspects such as localized deliveries<\/strong>, opting for more flexible<\/strong> delivery networks or taking seasonal logistics into account.<\/p>\n
