A successful brand relies on delivery management excellence to achieve operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and profitability. With the acceleration of online shopping, stay-at-home orders, and health concerns over in-person shopping, businesses are pushing to improve last-mile delivery solutions. According to a recent Gartner report, half of supply chain organisations are going to invest in applications that support advanced analytics and AI capabilities by 2024.
Logistics companies and shippers are using advanced analytics and AI to make freight tracking more precise and real time. From using GPS to track the movement of shipments in real-time to embedding sensors and RFID tags in packages to monitor their temperature and humidity of trucks, smart technology is bringing more transparency and traceability into the process than ever.
In the wake these trends, the last-mile delivery market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.62 percent by 2027.
