Key Highlights

• Retailers today have been forced to enhance their last-mile delivery capabilities with the rise of eCommerce.
• For consumers, a convenient delivery experience comes down to three core aspects: the cost of delivery, the speed of delivery, and the flexibility of both.
• Furthermore, consumer concerns over COVID-19 and the resulting shift to online have spurred retailers to invest in innovative delivery solutions to enhance their reach and cater to evolving demand with fulfillment options and short delivery times being of high importance to shoppers.
• With innovations such as Google’s driverless cars and drones, the future of delivery is set to involve innovation and looks very different from the current landscape. As retailers seek to satisfy customer preferences for timeliness and cost-effectiveness, automated guided vehicles, drones, and bikes could dominate the future of delivery options.
• The COVID-19 crisis has also intensified the need to adopt advanced technologies in supply chains, including automated warehouses, blockchain, computer vision, and RFID tags. COVID-19 expanded the use of some contemporary delivery methods, such as autonomous vehicles and drones, while also bringing changes to some of the most frequently used delivery methods.
