Last mile delivery is one of the most critical challenges for eCommerce companies due to high costs incurred. Also, 4-5% of online orders result into returns caused by logistics failure at the final delivery location.

The returns of delivery is a setback for you as an e-tailer, as it pushes up the average delivery costs by nearly 50% due to two way shipment.
