What are the 5 most common myths of the last mile? Where do these myths come from? What is the real deal? We researched to find out what the truth is.<\/span><\/h5>

The Last Mile is one of the most expensive parts of a delivery process, accounting for over 50% of costs. If you bust the myths, you will see that there are ways to reduce these expenses without cutting on the quality, time or efficiency of the delivery.<\/p>

Myth 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Logistics is not ready to innovate: Data is not trustworthy<\/p>

Actually… it is! And partnerships are key. Logistics companies cooperate to build a data-driven process based on transparency.<\/p>

Myth 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Pen and paper still do the job: Experience is enough to create and manage rounds<\/p>

In fact… new solutions offer better results. Real-time tracking and traceability help reducing the delivery time and increase success rates.<\/p>

Myth 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Communication between drivers and dispatchers is a mess: It’s hard to know where the drivers are<\/p>

Well… real-time tracking and contact already exist. Some solutions can track and keep record of the delivery for both dispatchers and clients.<\/p>

Myth 4.<\/strong>\u00a0It’s not possible to manage both outsourced and owned fleets: Omnichannel systems and outsourcing complicate the supply chain<\/p>

That’s a myth… last mile solutions can handle both outsourcing and in-house fleets. Dispatchers coordinate several fleets in the same tool, with a better overview of the operations and time savings.<\/p>

Myth 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Customers are not part of the process: The customer experience is not affected by delivery<\/p>

In fact… over 60% of clients admit a positive delivery experience influences their purchase choice. Client feedback can lead to operational improvement.<\/p>
