How do you build a truly efficient and cost-effective final-mile network? The term “final mile” makes it seems so simple — the relatively short distance that completes the long journey of product to the customer’s door. But that’s clearly not the case. In reality, the “final mile” describes a complex process that incorporates multiple stages, carriers, order fulfillers, service options and delivery methods.
So how do shippers go about constructing the best possible final-mile network — one that meets customer demands while ensuring profitability? On this episode, we jump into the final-mile debate with Bill Catania, founder and chief executive officer of OneRail . He discusses the various options for crafting a final-mile service: a collection of point solutions, in-house “do-it-yourself” efforts, and the idea of “orchestration,” making all of the parts perform in harmony. And, of course, we cover that inescapable topic: artificial intelligence.
