Maximize efficiency and exceed customer expectations

Last-mile fulfilment is the new competitive battleground for many retailers. Whether you deliver furniture or pharmaceutical products, customers expect a choice of delivery windows and regular status updates  – from booking to final delivery.

Your challenge: meeting these expectations at a cost that makes sense for your business.

Paragon’s last-mile delivery software can help

Our last-mile delivery software, Aptean Home Delivery, lets your customers choose their delivery times, but only from options that are achievable and cost-effective for your delivery fleet. The software underpins the home delivery service offered by many leading retailers, including the Argos same-day delivery service, and the award-winning customer experience offered by Dreams.

Our last-mile delivery software helps you:

• Increase customer satisfaction. Deliver on time and keep customers informed every step of the way.
• Simplify operations. Use one system to manage the entire last-mile delivery process, from order capture through to delivery and post-delivery requirements.
• Reduce planning time. Benefit from powerful algorithms that continuously optimize routes as new orders are added.

Problems solved
