After the last mile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the Final 50 Feet, which is an industry term for the last segment of the supply chain. According to the Urban Freight Lab (UFL) at the University of Washington\u2019s Supply Chain Transportation &amp; Logistics Center, \u201cit begins when a truck parks in a load\/unload space, continues as drivers maneuver goods along sidewalks and into urban towers to make the final delivery, and ends where the customer takes receipt of the goods.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an Enterprise standpoint, the \u201clast 50\u201d is what happens after a package is dropped at reception, yet still needs to make it to the employee who ordered it. Thanks to the explosion of e-commerce and the rising issue of porch piracy, the amounts of packages people receive at their office is growing substantially, along with the unintended consequences. This has overwhelmed traditional last mile delivery service strategies.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a variety of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">options<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are being tested, one of the most effective and straightforward <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solution<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has proven to be the implementation of<\/span><a href=\"\/en-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> intelligent locker systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Scalable, customizable electronic lockers systems<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provide<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> both your on-site workers and office visitors alike a secure space of their own for convenience and efficiency. As mobile workers without a permanent workplace become more prominent, smart locker technology can provide a secure storage option for them and visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Streamlines Last Mile Logistics Substantially<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart Locker Systems <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preemptively and substantially reduce the amount of labor and time that is needed to deliver packages.
