Spring is finally here, and with the Easter bank holiday weekend just around the corner, we decided it would be good to start thinking about urban logistics and fresh new ideas coming to the logistics sector.
It was that or start cleaning the warehouse.
Not a hard decision to make…
We wanted to focus on the evolution of inner-city delivery solutions, or as we like to call it; “light load logistics”.
The Deliveroo Success Story
We know what you’re thinking, “it’s just food!”, but here are two important things to remember before we introduce the takeaway (no pun intended):
- Their delivery drivers originally only travelled by bike or scooter
- Within only 2 years, this innovative solution was worth more than $600 million
Offering an agile solution within metropolitan areas allows businesses to serve customers quickly, reliably and at a low, upfront cost. For the B2C relationship, this is absolutely egg-cellent! Just imagine the potential when it reaches B2B…
We know this isn’t a solution for EVERY business
Cities are now busier than ever and it’s becoming harder to move goods around. There’s more traffic, more pedestrianised zones and more people working in separate office locations.
Of course, you’re never going to deliver a shipping container or white goods on the back of a bicycle. There’s still a long way to go. But it’s worth also remembering that the last one to innovate is a rotten egg.
So if it’s not the answer for you now, could it be something to develop in the future?
