Unlike door-to-door delivery, which describes the complete transportation process from the senders to the recipient’s door, ‘last mile’ delivery describes a very specific time frame- the time taken for a parcel to leave the transportation hub and reach the front door of your customers. As such getting this stage of your supply chain right is critical.

Used by manufacturers, importers and exporters, shipping companies, customs teams, and wholesalers, warehousing solutions are essential organizational, storage, and processing points in many international supply chains.

One of the major challenges faced by all the different players in shipping, is the absence of common standards, which leads to fragmented processes and inconsistent technology adoption across the industry. Without widely adopted standards, stakeholders struggle to fully integrate advancements like automation, AI, and data analytics, slowing the pace of transformation and limiting the potential benefits of digitalization.

Designed to enhance operational efficiency and improve communication to optimize cargo handling and traffic flow, the impact of smart port technology has the potential to transform modern shipping.
