Reliance on van-based delivery platforms is coming to an end. Governments and businesses across the globe are busy grappling with the transition from van to faster, cleaner and quieter LEVs and cargobikes.
Unlock efficiencies to cut costs and grow your addressable market...
The online grocery market crept up to 13.1% last year, much of it due to inflation. Why isn’t it 60%? …or more? - Because until now it’s been too costly to add capacity, and because until now it's cost grocers and their customers more than it needs to.
There are tremendous opportunities to reduce costs and grow market share for businesses that get the transition to this new technology right first time.
The productivity gains afforded by 2nd generation cargobikes and LEVs are substantial – but their full potential is only realizable when all elements of the fulfilment eco-system are considered.
...so where do you start?
We've made millions of temperature controlled deliveries for couriers, grocery and retail multiples, FM and service companies, guiding them through the process of reconfiguring their operations to enable deployment of these transformative technologies.
