Urban delivery means knowing how to manage special cases on a daily basis while aiming for maximum customer satisfaction.

  • A sector under pressure with a turnover that grows by 10% each year (fevad and ademe)
  • A drop in store traffic of 25% which is expected to last in the current context
  • A cost of transport of the last km which represents 30% of the total cost of the delivery of a product
  • In France, there are 10 million deliveries per day, 25% of which are empty

Conclusion

"The entire retail industry is evolving and changing, yesterday's practices no longer fully meet the demands of today and the years to come. These transformations, these changes, whether it's the uses, the pollution, the legislation, the customer experience, the digitalization ... there are a lot of issues that companies must respond to and position themselves. Companies that want to be pro-active must evolve their way of working and the services they offer to their customers. It is necessary to ask ourselves what are the new tools that will allow us to respond to these new challenges and how can they be treated in an efficient way in order to maintain market share, to respond to expectations, and to develop our business while being aware of the new constraints to which retail companies must respond. The unified delivery management system solution is interesting and meets a majority of current demands."
