• Last-Mile Excellence: How robust last-mile capabilities are in the face of exceptions, unpredictable volumes, and profitability

• Workforce Empowerment: Employees’ abilities to handle last-mile challenges
• Advanced Analytics: The opportunity to leverage last-mile data and make more informed decisions on the supply chain
• Sustainability: How environmentally sustainable a company’s last-mile function is today

The assessment then scales enterprises on a 5-point rating system and categorizes them as businesses in the Emerging, Growth, or Optimized stage. Assessment takers walk away with a 360-degree comprehensive report that delivers personalized recommendations and actionable insights on how to unlock new revenue, & make delivery experiences a differentiator for enterprises.
