Building Capabilities for Last Mile Visibility

End-to-end supply chain visibility refers to the ability to track individual components, from raw materials to finished products, as they move from manufacturer to supplier to the final destination. However, companies need complete visibility in the last-mile stage, which is becoming increasingly significant in costs, effectiveness, and business differentiator.

Having visibility enables managers and dispatchers to make informed decisions when unexpected situations arise. It also provides fleet operators with greater insights into the performance of their trucks and drivers. Last-mile visibility is a must-have when promptly responding to customer inquiries about their order’s whereabouts and making the necessary adjustments. Meeting customers’ high expectations for unique delivery experiences can be challenging without this capability.

Last-mile delivery practices, especially regarding freight visibility, reflect how the organization handles information internally before sharing externally. For a business to provide real-time status updates, it must ensure all relevant data is accessible within the inner team. According to the American Productivity & Quality Center, only 47% of B2B companies report that real-time data regarding inventory, orders, warehousing, and shipments is accessible to a significant extent of the business.

Better internal visibility leads to increased transparency regarding the current status of orders. Transparency is key for organizations to manage delivery problems and meet customers’ rising expectations by offering greater insights into their operations.
