Last mile delivery is the last step of delivering of goods and services, when parcel is moved from transportation hub and en-routed for final destination at retail store or personal residence of customer. The focus of last mile delivery companies is mainly on delivery of good to the end-user as fast as possible.

However, goods arrive at a high-capacity ports, they must be transported to the last destination.

This last phase of supply chain is less efficient and comprises major part of total cost to move goods from transportation hub to destination and this problem is termed as Last Mile Problem. At present, retailers have started the search for alternatives to meet the customers need as traditional methods of delivery are not successful in all the regions. Transportation partners have started looking for delivery alternatives such as local regional carriers, drones, click-to-collect locations, and others, to provide faster last mile delivery.

Leading automobile companies are coming up with innovation in the last mile delivery market that are to be commercialized in future. For instance, 'Vans & Drones' and 'Vans & Robots' are projects by Mercedes-Benz in which drones deliver packages to the landing sites or vans roof. This system is developed in partnership with a drone startup company from Silicon Valley, Matternet.
