Securing Last-Mile Deliveries

April 10, 2025
Descartes

Webinar Description

Building supply distributors face mounting pressure from job site claims, customer disputes, and rising operational costs. Manual processes and disconnected systems leave businesses vulnerable and exposing them to losses, delays, and customer frustration.

The solution! A digital-first strategy that protects assets, resolves disputes, and fulfills orders efficiently.

This webinar is designed for building supply distributors seeking to move from reactive operations to proactive, digital-first logistics. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights to prevent theft, resolve disputes, and meet customer demands without straining their teams.
 

What you will take away:

  • Preventing Claims, Losses, and Disputes: Real-time tracking, proof of delivery, and automated documentation reduce jobsite losses, improve customer confidence, and resolve claims faster. 
  • Delivering More with Less: Learn how digital tools enable distributors to optimize deliveries, improve efficiency, and reduce costs by using fewer resources without compromising service quality. 
  • Fulfilling Same-Day Orders Without Overextending Operations: Explore how smarter route planning, real-time updates, and fleet automation help distributors meet urgent orders without driving up costs.
  • The Digital Shift in Last-Mile Operations: Understand how centralized, data-driven systems enhance visibility, reduce costs, and future-proof operations for growth.

Cyndi Brandt, VP, Fleet Solutions, Descartes
