Disrupting the Last Mile Logistics Market

This partnership is especially significant as itcomes at a time when the global COVID-19 crisis has unearthed new fragments andvulnerabilities across the logistics and supply chain sector. In SoutheastAsia, organisations have been disrupted by manpower challenges, servicesuspensions and inventory backlogs, with many deliveries delayed by weeks; evenmonths when the crisis was at its peak. Even pre-crisis, the advent and rapidevolution of e-commerce had brought about a massive uptick in delivery demand,with consumers seeking higher levels of service and convenience.
