| Abstract |
As worldwide urban populations grow rapidly, higher volumes and more frequent delivery demands create great challenges for all stakeholders in last mile logistics to balance the efficiency of last mile delivery and sustainability of urban environment holistically. We propose a collaborative platform as virtual consolidation center to encourage collaboration among these stakeholders with minimum information sharing to protect their competitive intelligence. The proposed platform aims to improve the efficiency of last mile logistics by consolidating delivery demands and thus reducing number of trucks needed. Four main features of the platform are anonymizing tool, bundling recommendation engine, auction mechanism and routing engine. We conducted an exploratory field study with various stakeholders in Singapore to assess the feasibility of such platform and summarized the result using SWOT and PESTN analysis. |
