Autonomous vehicles increase efficiency in first and last-mile delivery, which is a big win in improving customer satisfaction.

• Blockchain Technology
Mitigating the complex global environment of the supply chain has been a hurdle to jump across, but that is expected to change with the advent of blockchain. The innovation offers security through a decentralized ledger system and traceability. By using blockchain, the supply chain will see a decrease in asset handling issues and fraud while reliably tracking assets throughout their journey by creating a permanent and unalterable record as registered vendors and third parties handle assets.

Monitoring and evaluating these data sets can be used for route optimization and planning. In addition, supply chain industries can utilize market data analysis tools for better supplier pricing options, risk management strategies, and predictive maintenance solutions.

However, last-mile delivery optimization is a top priority come 2023, especially with the uptick of e-commerce in the supply chain industry.
Implementation of drones and up-to-date inventory software that enters orders into a centralized system and has a progressive method of scaling will reduce most of the challenges faced during last-mile delivery and, ultimately, a happy customer, a win in these industries.
