Consumer behaviour has been irrevocably changed by online shopping, and the eCommerce revolution has been greatly aided by last-mile delivery services. The most expensive and complicated part of e-commerce shipping operations is the last-mile delivery process. The main obstacles to ensuring a seamless last-mile delivery experience are delayed orders, failed deliveries or delivery exceptions, a lack of an adequate order tracking system, etc. Last-mile delivery begins when an order is picked up from the city’s centre and concludes when the order is delivered to the customer. Enclosed are some of the key logistics players that are pioneering the last mile in India.
