Canadian Retailer - The Supply Chain & Logistics Issue - 36
ORDER FULFILMENT
Finding efficiencies
and reducing costs in
order fulfilment
BY CRAIG PATTERSON
THE 'last mile' is the most cost-intensive part
of the supply chain for retailers. Be it the final
delivery of goods from distribution centre to
retail store, or to the consumer's front door,
the rise of omnichannel retail has resulted
in increased demand for last-mile resources.
Retailers are innovating to make the last mile
more efficient, and they're using a variety of
strategies to best serve the consumer.
Retailers doing business in Canada are
delivering product to consumers more than
ever before, though delivering door-to-door
can be expensive-and returns can be complicated. Some retailers are instead choosing
the 'click-and-collect' model, where shoppers
make a purchase online, and pick it up in the
store. The future of the last mile will involve
innovation and efficiencies, including crowdsourcing and possibly even drone delivery.

Canada is a vast country in terms of geography, and relatively small in population. As a
result, delivering to individual homes can be a
challenge. Nevertheless, leading retailers are
innovating to bring product to consumers.
