The delivery leg your customer actually sees

Last-mile cold delivery is the final stretch of a cold-chain journey from a local hub, kitchen, or store, straight to the end customer’s door, rather than a bulk transfer between warehouses.

It’s a different job from bulk distribution, even though the vehicles overlap. A last-mile route usually means more stops, smaller drop sizes per stop, and a customer waiting for a specific delivery window rather than a store simply expecting stock sometime that morning. That changes what matters: route sequencing, communication about arrival time, and increasingly a proof-of-delivery record the customer or their building security can rely on.

This is the service behind online grocery, meal-kit, and pharmacy delivery operations that don’t run their own fleet, and behind restaurants and retailers that deliver directly to consumers rather than only supplying other businesses.

Delivering on time, not just delivering cold

For a bulk distribution run, “sometime this morning” is usually fine. For last-mile delivery to a consumer, it isn’t a two-hour delivery window that is often the expectation, and missing it costs you a customer relationship, not just an internal SLA.

We plan last-mile routes around your promised windows rather than optimizing purely for the fewest kilometers driven, which sometimes means a slightly less efficient route in exchange for reliably hitting the times you’ve told your customers.

Last-mile delivery questions
