One of the largest logistical challenges that sales, operations and marketing teams encounter is being able to finish out the last mile logistics to complete a project. The last mile, or final mile, represents the most difficult part of the logistical journey, where there could be multiple steps in the process compared to other parts.

As an industry leader in last mile logistics, Pyramid Logistics has assembled this overview of what to expect with your project.

What is Last Mile Logistics

The last mile is not only the most important but also the most time-consuming part of the shipping process. For businesses with major logistical needs, finding efficient ways to navigate this final leg can often make or break their mobile marketing budget. This can be especially true in the trade show or retail space. It’s critical that you have a last mile logistics plan so that your assets get to the next destination on time and in one piece.

How Last Mile Logistics Could Help Your Business

When done successfully, last mile logistics leads to more cost-effective and efficient transport routes that have the potential to create significant cost savings for your business. Pyramid Logistics understands this process, and offers a last mile service that’s helped push multiple major projects across the line. 

In the trade show space, you could be transporting your booth equipment from your warehouse in Los Angeles to a convention center in Las Vegas. That pick-up and 250-mile drive take delicate handling and safe driving to ensure the items arrive unharmed. However, the last mile portion of it requires a lot of steps, including offloading your goods, restoring it in a temporary warehousing solution on or off-site near the trade show, securing it, and getting it to the assembly teams without any damage.

In the retail space, you could be rolling out 8 retail stores at malls and shopping centers across Southern California. The last mile is critical. This is where the logistics teams load counters and stands used on the retail floor. Then the transportation teams split and work on a tight schedule to get all of the assets in place before the stores reopen. This takes a lot of communication, planning and coordination to carry out – typically overnight.

Pyramid Logistics can accommodate your unique needs every step of the way. We’ll make sure that the last mile goes as smoothly as possible.
