Top 3 Last Mile Delivery Startups in Logistics

Last mile delivery is coined as the last step and the most integral part of today’s supply chain management companies. The main focus of logistics companies is the final destination of the shipment from the transportation hub. This approach intensifies day by day as online shopping turned out to be the interest of the majority of the public around the world. E-commerce sales are growing day by day in all countries, reaching astonishing growth figures on the business financial front. At the beginning of this kind of extensive growth, customer expectations for home delivery go beyond standards. This is making last-mile delivery not only expensive, but also competitive. The demands and interests of online shoppers made them expect their product to be delivered in no time. This type of trend makes last-mile delivery almost 50% of the cost of your purchase amount.
