Last Mile Delivery 
Challenges
www.riddhicorporate.co.in
There has been an increase in the number of 
companies offering 
third party logistics services (3PLs), which are 
now competing with shipping carriers for last 
mile delivery. 
In many cases, a third party logistics company 
stores the products in a warehouse that serves 
a particular area of customers. Final 
transportation and last-mile delivery are the 
responsibility of the 3PL when an order is 
placed.
1. High Costs
The entire supply chain and last mile delivery 
operations are the most expensive because 
of several challenges. 
There are numerous obstacles to its 
Vision implementation, includiMnigss aionn tiquated IT 
infrastructure, limited logistics visibility, and a

reduced by optimizing 
last mile delivery solutions.
A lack of efficient routing techniques, 
manual task allocation, and poorly managed 
third-party logistics providers threaten the 
shipping process and prolong delivery turn-
around times. 
It is difficult to maximize vehicle capacity 
with same-day delivery due to the limited 
product inventory, reducing the savings for 
logistics firms. As a result, the associated 
costs increase accordingly.
2. Rigid processes resulting in 
inadequacy
With instant fulfillment and constantly changing 
market dynamics, rigid delivery systems, which 
are considered to be one of the most significant 
supply chain inefficiencies, are becoming 
increasingly obsolete. 
Customer dissatisfaction increases when 
traditional processes rely on manual involvement 
and fail to meet consumer expectations.
Nowadays, consumers prefer brands that let them 
choose how and when to receive deliveries based 
on their convenience.
3. Poor Supply Chain Visibility
A lack of visibility in logistics operations has many 
contributing factors, including outdated supply 
chain architectures, outdated delivery methods, 
and inadequate system integration. 
In the absence of synchronization between an 
order management system and a third-party 
logistics provider’s system, it is extremely difficult 
for logistics managers to track and trace a truck’s 
precise location. 
There are numerous inefficiencies as a result of this. Visibility problems result in delays, false 
ETAs, route diverts, idled vehicles, and increased fuel consumption. They also obscure deliveries 
to customers, which exacerbates last-mile delivery problems.
