The last mile delivery is an important part of the delivery chain, if not the most important in urban cities. Today, we live in a world where e-commerce is rising, which means consumer preferences is rising too, and on demand delivery Is a key differentiator. With on demand delivery, we complete the last mile delivery in the delivery chain. The additional option and quality of on demand delivery have affected e-commerce players success in marketplace, by allowing consumers immediate access to products. While keeping this in mind, vendors are struggling to offer the best customer experience possible, especially by improving delivery times and option with e.g. on demand service in the last mile of the delivery chain.
Price is an important factor
Many find pricing as an important factor when wanting goods delivered home, and we partly agree in that statement. As mentioned before, the last mile is one of the most important part in a long chain, so it may be clear to most people, that the longer the distance in urban cities the greater the costs for last mile deliveries with on demand options. An article wrote in 2016 by Mc. Kinsey called “How customer demands are reshaping last-mile delivery” they found that 25% of consumers shopping online are willing to pay significant more for on demand delivery options, and this number is likely to increase. Furthermore over 30% of young consumers are willing to choose on demand delivery over regular delivery. So YES, price is an important factor, one in many. But how does on demand pricing differentiate from regular delivery pricing? In some cases it’s cheaper, in most cases its the same and in other cases you may find that the price is a bit higher. Doorhub have built a technology for the last mile, that include an algorithm that are effected by more than 10 different factors which all influence how pricing are made. Pricing does differentiate, but the service & transparency you provide your customers is extraordinary and is definitely worth the insignificant amount that In some cases takes place.
