Delivery Fleet Management: 10 Optimization Strategies That Cut Costs
Last-mile delivery accounts for 53% of total shipping costs — making delivery fleet optimization the single highest-leverage cost reduction opportunity for e-commerce and logistics operators. Route optimization software alone typically reduces miles driven by 15–20%, cutting fuel and labor costs simultaneously. Failed deliveries (re-delivery attempts) cost $5–25 per package — reducing your failed delivery rate below 2% through customer notifications and proof-of-delivery tools delivers outsized ROI.
