What is last mile delivery and what makes it essential today?

Last mile delivery is the last part of a delivery process, where the goods reach the end user and their final destination. These last kilometers are crucial, and a determining factor for customer satisfaction with their order.

ECOLOGICAL TRANSPORT

While the demand for goods transport continues to increase, the transport sector is subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards. As an innovator in the field, VPD attaches great importance to sustainable mobility.

STRATEGIC HUBS

This is why we are investing in a growing network of strategically located hubs. Depending on your customer's address, we first bring the bicycle to the nearest hub, before deploying the last mile delivery from there. This is a catalyst for maximising the use of electric vehicles. Currently, you can find our hubs in Zellik, Liège, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Ghent, Antwerp and Ostend.

REAL-TIME TRACEABILITY IN OUR TMS SYSTEM

On our TMS platform, you can find everything about delivery, with or without assembly. Here you can enter your orders directly so that they are scheduled, the most optimal routes are calculated, and the final delivery and/or assembly can be tracked in real-time. This way, you are aware of when your items will be delivered.

TRACK & TRACE FOLLOW-UP

Your customers can also see when their ordered products will be delivered to their home or to a store nearby for them to pick up themselves. Your customers are continuously informed via email and SMS, with a track-and-trace code that allows them to see and determine on which day and in which time frame their ordered products will be delivered and, if necessary, assembled. This way, your customer knows what to expect and when they should stay home, and you have more assurance that the delivery will be carried out on time.
