The world of logistics is on the brink of a major transformation, with the last mile of delivery posing both significant challenges and opportunities for innovation. Last-mile logistics, the final step of the delivery process where goods are transported from a distribution centre to the end customer, has traditionally been the most expensive and time-consuming part of the shipping journey. However, the advent of drones, droids, and delivery bots presents a potential revolution in how businesses approach this final hurdle.
