The world of last-mile delivery ain’t what it used to be. Post-Covid, U.S. consumers have established a new “Normal” by changing their online shopping habits, preference, and priorities.

In response, most eCommerce players have adopted new goals and operating models to best serve their customers. Find out what these changes are and how can your fleet not only thrive in this rapidly changing new world but develop an “edge” to secure profit and growth in both short and long terms. AlixPartners has over a decade of collecting highly relevant survey data on the e-commerce home-delivery space and will share insights on trends and opportunities based on the latest study. This seminar is for carriers who seek to understand their customers, find ways to optimize fleet and distribution network, and understand upcoming changes (i.e. ESG mandates), so they can steer their fleet operation from being reactive to proactive.

Chris Considine, AlixPartners

The curb is a hot commodity. Today last-mile delivery fleets compete with new micromobility modes, ride hailing, outdoor dining, and curbside pickup — not to mention a steep rise in parking rates, automated enforcement, and even fines meted out through vigilantes.

This seminar will discuss these issues and ways fleets can decrease this cost center while increasing efficiency and safety. Panelists will dig into regulatory and policy initiatives, off-street alternatives, enforcement technologies, smart loading zones, e-bike use, and more.

By now, you’re aware of how video telematics provides visual documentation of vehicle events to reduce risk and increase operational visibility. This seminar will dig deeper into the rich data sets these systems provide. Panelists will connect the dots between a written safety program, technology, training, and reduced losses to help you act on that data to further enhance your fleet’s safety. They’ll share crash trends in the last mile delivery space, along with data analytics from hundreds of fleets and thousands of events to categorize fleet risk based on event type, driver experience, geography, and other external factors. Then, through a fleet case study, you’ll understand how to use the data to recognize and motivate your workforce, as well as prepare yourself against aggressive plaintiffs’ attorneys.

Adam Kahn, CBDO, Netradyne

In the never-ending quest to boost revenues, the opportunities to increase efficiencies and lower operational costs in fleets often get lost — yet small improvements directly benefit the bottom line.

In this seminar, attendees will learn how delivery fleets can curb idling costs — and idling fines — through automations that require no driver interaction, how drivers can pay for fuel without a card and how fleet managers can streamline payments for fuel, tolls, and fines.

Attendees will also learn how to use data for more precise routing based on traffic flows and how to park more efficiently.

To close out the first-ever DeliveryCon, we’ll convene a panel of delivery fleet operators as they walk us through an informal S.W.O.T. analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) of their businesses and the overall market. Join this session to understand what makes this market tick through the lens of those who live it every day. The session will be interactive, so come with questions! Finally, we’ll raise a toast to celebrate the first year of DeliveryCon and the continued success of the operators.
