2018 State of the Last Mile Report

The last mile has become the melting pot of expectations for consumer, retailer and logistics provider alike. A highly pressurised vat of expectation and emotion which often explodes; with today’s connected consumers not afraid to broadcast their woes when they feel the fulfilment of their order has been poor. 

Delivery can ‘make or break’ a brand’s reputation.

It was time to take a snapshot of the state of the last mile. Localz paired with Eye for Transport to pursue a new piece of research.
