De last mile uitdaging

Zie jij ook de kosten van jouw last mile bezorgingen stijgen?

Klanten willen namelijk meer dan ooit de controle over waar,

wanneer en hoe hun bestellingen worden bezorgd.

Maar slechts 1 procent van de klanten is bereid de volledige leveringskosten te dragen,

wat betekent dat het merendeel van de kosten bij jou liggen.

Bovendien worden op het moment veel pakketten niet afgeleverd bij de eerste bezorgpoging,

Dit zorgt voor vertraging en weer extra kosten.

De grootste uitdaging is dus dat last mile bezorging relatief complex is en het meeste geld kost,

Zeker als je dit zelf uitvoert.

Kleine maar ook grote pakketten met bijzondere afmetingen kunnen door onze koeriers bezorgd worden. 

Voordelige en duurzame oplossing

Momenteel voer je wellicht jouw transporten zelf uit en ervaar je de tijd en vervolgens kosten die daarbij komen kijken.

Komt het regelmatig voor dat jouw bedrijf met slecht gevulde bussen rijdt door het hele land?

Wij komen graag met je in contact om te kijken hoe we dit kunnen oplossen en zo jouw last mile transporten zo voordelig, snel en duurzaam mogelijk worden uitgevoerd.

Wij koppelen jouw transport aan de onbenutte ruimte van één van de meer dan 50+ aangesloten koeriers die toch deze route rijdt.

Zo wordt de ruimte in de busjes volledig benut en worden jouw pakketten zo efficiënt en dus zo voordelig mogelijk bezorgd.

Jouw transporten worden direct vanaf de winkel bij de klant bezorgd.

Wij geven je inzicht in wat er gebeurt.

Koeriers worden bij elk transport beoordeeld en alleen de best presterende koeriers mogen voor onze zakelijke klanten bezorgen.

Ook de klant en de koerier zijn goed op de hoogte want ze hebben elkaars contactgegevens en zo lopen ze elkaar niet mis.

Dit maakt KoerierDirect de best beoordeelde bezorger van meubels en andere grote spullen in Nederland en Belgie. Nieuwsgierig naar wat KoerierDirect voor jouw last mile bezorgingen kan betekenen?

The Rise Of Quick Commerce And Its Impact On Last Mile Delivery

1) The emergence of quick-commerce and the issues it poses at the last mile 

Well, the introduction of "Quick Commerce" (Q-commerce) has resulted in significant benefits for all parties involved - customers, brands, and merchants. However, to guarantee that it constantly delivers on its potential, it must be properly planned and implemented. There are several challenges, ranging from the items offered to the time and cost of delivery.

The purpose of the article is to discuss the influence of Q-commerce on last-mile delivery, the issues it generates, and how to solve them.

2) Thoroughly examine your product portfolio.

The items and products that you provide as a Q-commerce platform or shop, on the other hand, determine your performance in more ways than one. As a result, thoroughly identify your product portfolio.

Medicines, food items, cosmetics, toiletries, and other small-sized products work well because they are not just items that people desire as part of their daily routines (convenience), but they can also be delivered rapidly (e.g., by bike or 3-wheeler vehicle).

Bulky objects, such as a sofa or a huge refrigerator, will not suit the bill. Anything that requires installation or a specific delivery date, in general, should not be supplied on a Q-commerce platform. Lightweight products can be shipped fast and are frequently ordered "urgently" or as an "emergency."

Remember that your competitor is following such best practices, and if you want to stay competitive, you should as well!

2) Order fulfillment speed

Extending on the previous point about delivery speed, you must understand how your last-mile delivery is configured, i.e. the distance across which the product will go for the final leg of its journey which terminates at the customer's doorstep. The placement of your warehouse network and local distribution centers is most likely the most important factor. To guarantee timely delivery, you'll want to keep these as near to your clients as feasible.

The appropriate Last-Mile Delivery Software will boost collaboration among Q-commerce departments, give end-to-end visibility, and preserve analytical ROI data. Most importantly, you may use it to energize your Customer Experience  

Analyze the types of vehicles needed to convey your orders. Do you truly require a huge fleet of large vans or trucks? The usage of motorcycles, minivans, or even bicycles should suffice. 

Smaller, lighter vehicles will allow you to expedite orders by better navigating traffic and keeping expenses down - and, if you employ electric cars, you will also be more responsible in terms of sustainability. Keep these considerations in mind while selecting 3PLs and logistics partners.

3) The magic of modern technologies

We live in an age where technology drives everything! It generates new markets for new items and gives old products access to new markets...The list goes on and on!

To say the obvious, regardless of the product kind, location of service, fleet type, firm size, growth (etc.), you will be unable to capitalize on the potential given by the quick, hyper-local world of Q-commerce unless the technology employed is cutting-edge.

As previously stated, Q-commerce is based on multiple internal systems that all communicate with one another in real-time. Inventory accuracy, operational metrics, delivery resource availability, and many other aspects in a lengthy list of items throughout the supply chain so that all stakeholders are live and information is exchanged in real-time. Without it, a Q-commerce firm will fail.

For example, your order-management tool, i.e. an inventory management system that provides you with a unified, holistic picture of your inventory, becomes non-negotiable. It also provides additional advantages such as agility in tweaking/changing your product portfolio lineup based on demand and flexibility in your pickup and delivery procedures.

Without it, you would be unable to properly showcase your product selection to your clients, risking stock-outs, disgruntled customers, and a bad shopping experience. 

4) Q-Commerce: not without difficulties

Any new opportunities of such magnitude come with problems.

Offering hyper-fast delivery (e.g., "30-minute groceries") or maintaining hyper-local goods over an intricate network of warehouses is not inexpensive. Consider the amount of inventory necessary - numerous SKUs, brands, pricing points within categories (and so on).

Because "convenience" and "speed of delivery" are the pillars of Q-commerce, stock-outs, and inadequate inventory will be very inefficient.

The bottom line with Q-commerce is, well, the bottom line! That is, how successful would such projects be in the long run?  

Oh, and when it comes to last-mile delivery, the promise of "free delivery" is something that customers now (almost) expect! This raises the question of whether you will be able to retain consumers if you discontinue giving free delivery.

By logical extension, how much would you charge for delivery if you started charging it? Can you match the price your competitors are charging? Why not, if not? So, are your cost structures configured incorrectly? Why can't you do it if others can? Will it include a scale? Will you be able to maintain your activities till you reach such a large scale? These are fundamental problems that must be addressed.

Choosing the correct technology and platform may (possibly) reduce the time and cost to reach equilibrium. Automation, real-time data, and cross-functional optimization are just a few of the things you must concentrate on if you want to achieve long-term unit economics and profitability.

5) Organisational Alignment

An underlying reality that runs across all of the individual ideas above suggests a vital success factor, namely that a compartmentalized strategy will not suffice.

Internal alignment of the entire organization and its many tasks is required. Furthermore, it must be in sync with external stakeholders such as supply-chain organizations, logistics partners, and, of course, the end customer.

An enterprise like Q-commerce, with its narrow margins, short schedules, hyper-markets, and frantic activity, would fail if there is no cross-functional synergy. And keep in mind that today's customers are spoiled rotten! They will easily switch to your competition...

Conclusion: While Q-commerce provides various benefits to consumers, e-commerce companies, and brands, it also presents significant problems. A substantial portion of these issues revolve around the last-mile segment and therefore, using modern, automated, and cutting-edge delivery software is a must-have weapon in your armory.
