The crucial role of customer experience in the last mile delivery

In today's fast-paced world, the last-mile delivery experience has emerged as a pivotal factor shaping customer perceptions and loyalty. With the explosion of online shopping and the demands on B2B supply chains continuing to grow, customers across all industries expect nothing short of seamless, transparent, and timely deliveries. It's no surprise then that businesses are realising the critical importance of prioritising customer experience (CX) in their last-mile operations to stay ahead in the competitive market landscape.

Our recent article dives deep into the evolving dynamics of last-mile delivery, highlighting how Australia's booming online retail sector underscores the pressing need for businesses to adapt and excel in this domain. From the moment a package leaves the distribution centre to its arrival at the customer's doorstep, every interaction counts, significantly influencing brand perception and customer satisfaction.

But what are the benefits of those who excel in last-mile CX? The team at RADARO have identified the following top 5 benefits:

1. Order conversion: With an estimated 71% of Australian consumers abandoning their shopping carts due to slow delivery options, efficiency, transparency and effective communication throughout the delivery process have become non-negotiable in maximising conversions.
2. Improved communication: Tracking updates and notifications gives customers peace of mind, reduces missed deliveries and establishes brand trust and loyalty.
3. Brand reputation and customer retention: Meeting and exceeding your customers’ expectations is essential for building trust and fostering long-term loyalty. The last-mile is the last interaction the consumer has with your business and its imperative you leave a lasting positive impression.
4. Competitive edge: Superior service delivery can set a business apart and attract more customers. Satisfied customers are more likely to share their positive experiences with friends and family, which can lead to further organic word-of-mouth growth.
5. Data collection: The last mile process can provide insight into customer behaviour, delivery efficiency and demand forecasting to drive data-driven decisions in the future that further increase the benefits above.
