Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2016 -- Magline is responding to the increased demands of last mile delivery with the popularity of ecommerce. Recently featured in AutomationMedia.com, eCommerce fulfillment has proven to be more challenging than most people in the food industry realized. Meeting this challenge will drive a lot of innovation in supply chain technology. Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, authored the article titled, "Last-Mile Delivery of Food e-Commerce; Safety Delivery Tools Needed for Uber, Lyft, and Deliv Drivers."
While the challenges of these last-mile, quasi-route delivery supply chain modalities take shape it is ironic that during June, National Safety Month, the very tools used to protect beverage route delivery from injury are nowhere on the scene of last-mile grocery delivery.
Internet purchases just surpassed retail brick and mortar buying for the first time. This shift is driving a massive increase to home delivery, including groceries. The lesson learned about ergonomics from the route delivery and beverage delivery industries are guiding the growth of the last mile delivery scenario.
Magline products and tools are quickly becoming part of eCommerce delivery fleets for a variety of last mile delivery services.
