Parcel Forum 2024 recap: from advancing last-mile delivery to recording a podcast about it

Last week at Parcel Forum 2024, we connected with industry leaders and explored the latest logistics innovations. Simon gave a great presentation on AI in Last-Mile Delivery, with a special thanks to Steven Bergan for joining the discussion!

In Dallas, we met with partners and collaborated with regional carriers such as Better Trucks, LSO, and Optima. We also disclosed the results of our Real-Time Tracking Report 2024: unveiling the state of last mile tracking in the USA. Get the report here.

The role of technology is clear, and as a last-mile SaaS provider, we see huge potential in the U.S. market. We also had the amazing opportunity to record an episode of the Better Yet podcast from Better Trucks, stay tuned!

🔍 Some key takeaways:

• Adapting to Market Shifts: U.S. parcel revenue declined for the first time, forcing carriers to focus on operational efficiency while maintaining customer experience as a key differentiator.
• Opportunities for Regional Carriers: Regional carriers, with their flexibility and advanced tracking capabilities, are positioned to capture more market share in the evolving delivery landscape.
• The Future Is Now: The future of last-mile delivery depends on embracing advanced technology and meeting consumer demands for flexibility and real-time visibility to remain competitive.
