1. 6 WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR LAST-MILE
DELIVERY COSTS

2. INTRODUCTION
As technology advances, consumers are keener than ever before to
get their deliveries from merchants in the shortest amount of time,
and when this does not happen, it can cause a loss of sales, expensive
returns, and reduced profits.
In addition, last-mile operation tends to be the least efficient part of
the process, with delivery efficiency causing around a quarter of all
concerns for companies.

3. How to Reduce Your Last-Mile Delivery Costs?

4. 1.Automated
Dispatching Solution
This type of system works to link the right
driver to the delivery when they are in the
optimal place at the right time, thus reducing
the initial wait to hand off the delivery to the
last mile operative.

5. 2.Delivery Route
Optimization
Using an automated delivery route planner not only
provides better-organised delivery solutions, but
when you use route optimization software like
Norma, you can be certain that a driver’s deliveries
will be planned in such a way that the minimum
time is needed. it also helps to reduce costs,
streamline processes, and speed up deliveries.

6. 3.Verify Your Deliveries
Delivery management software like Altair DC offers
more than just speedier deliveries; it also provides a
way to verify your deliveries and obtain proof of
delivery and location of delivery in case of later
disputes. When you use a mobile application to
support deliveries, you can also get electronic
signatures, scan parcel barcodes, and even take
photographs of deliveries. This information is
invaluable and will help to reduce the costs of false
non-delivery claims.

7. 4. Real-Time Updates
One of the biggest issues that consumers face is knowing
when they need to be in to take delivery. This can be
avoided when you automate your last-mile delivery
operations as the software can provide them with real-
time delivery updates and parcel tracking so that they can
be aware of the journey their parcel is taking and when to
expect it to arrive. With advanced chatbots, delivery
appointments can be booked automatically and linked to
the routing software.

8. 5. Increase Delivery Options
Not everyone wants their delivery as fast as possible!
Most consumers would prefer to choose a time and
date that works around their schedule. The best route
optimization software will provide as many delivery
options as possible so that you can reduce the number
of attempted deliveries and increase consumer
satisfaction.

9. 6. Real-Time Data Analytics
When you choose automated route planning, you can
look forward to receiving advanced analytics and
machine learning that will help you to improve your
business offering and improve your service to
consumers. You can discover key data about
productivity, deliveries made, and even the time a
driver is idle – allowing you better control over your last-
mile deliveries than ever before.
