Part Four: Last Mile is So Last Year: Here's How to Reach The Future Retail Consumer

Series: Five Keys to Unlocking Supply Chain Value in a Time of Crisis

July 6, 2022

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is Episode 4 of our Supply Chains in Crisis series with Gartner Inc. Catch up on Episode 3Episode 2 and Episode 1.

Webinar Description

Last-mile has become a term synonymous with home delivery of consumer orders. But as requirements for receiving orders evolve in complexity and variety, current last-mile operations will become outdated and ineffective. This webinar will show how new models, using urban, suburban and rural strategies for order collection or delivery, and multi-retailer consolidation networks will change how retailers get products into the hands of consumers.
 

What you will take away:

  • Alter their definition of last mile away from just delivery by also including collection options.
  • Embrace the innovative ways in which consumers and products can come together
  • Build into their future last-mile plans, the concepts of consolidation, collaboration and environmental sustainability.
