This is why you need to get serious about Quick Commerce. Yes, this is real. Yes it’s imminent. This is a real drone delivery from the Dallas Fort Worth area. Here is how it’s playing out this year by the numbers: 1. Walmart is adding 1.8 Million more homes to its Texas delivery routes. 2. DroneUp, UPS, and Zipline all obtained important FAA exemptions. 3. Zipline contracted with PA based Well-Health to deliver subscriptions. 4. Skyports partnered with NY Port Authority to help alleviate bridge congestion. 5. Wing partnered with Wendy’s to begin piloting deliveries in VA. If you think Q-Commerce is moving fast now… It’s just barely getting started. ——— 🔹Driving retail velocity in Kroger, Whole Foods, Albertsons, Costco, Walmart, Sprouts, and More 🔹DM me or book an appointment for help! #ecommerce #retailmedia #retailvelocity #retail #cpggrowth #instacart #cpg #tradespend

"Customers in 2024 are looking for more choice and will often opt for retailers that give them flexibility in the delivery of their items. While home delivery remains a popular choice, we are seeing more customers embrace out of home deliveries, opting for store locations that fit within their daily routine". Our Out of Home Director, Liam Rogan, discussed the importance of giving customers the options they want in our latest catch up with the team at IMRG.

Sometimes preparation is more satisfying than the actual event. Yesterday we had a prep talk for the webchat hosted by Milkman Technologies and it was fun. I am sure that the main event on Thursday, June 20th at11:00am - 12:00pm (CET) will be even more interesting. We are going to talk OOH. What is OOH you asked? For learning that OOH is Out-of-Home delivery you have to take this webinar. In case you know well what is OOH then you also have to take this webinar, because it is going to be fun. We will not agree with each other on all the things but what we agree on is the fact that last-mile delivery desperately needs automatisation. This automation can be in the form of Software, Parcel Lockers, Drone delivery, or any other new addition, but the automation is a must. What are the options - that will be answered during the event.

I had a great panel discussion about “the future of last mile delivery in Africa” at the #ecommercelive event in Sandton. Moderated by Andy Higgins from BobGroup, I shared the panel with Daniele Joubert from Uber, Devon Light from DPD and Renier Louw from Inhance. Top 5 learnings: - Future e-commerce growth in SA will come from mass market penetration and delivery needs to be aligned to that - the cost of delivery needs to come down and parcel consolidation plays an important role - decentralised delivery will play a bigger role, this means collaboration between couriers, pickup points and final mile players (scooter delivery) - more optionality for online shoppers across speed, service and price - drones are still not a real thing in SA for the foreseeable future https://lnkd.in/dkN5fax6

Dollar General and Dollar Tree moving into a rural town in America almost always meant local shops had to close shop as they could never compete with these chains on costs. In many rural towns these stores are the only stores available. If they decide to close shops it would mean many rural Americans could be entirely left out. Could Amazon and Walmart fill the gap? My opinion? No. Rural America can be so spread out that Amazon/Walmart would be losing money on every delivery if they were to service rural America like they service the suburbs. They will need to come up with better strategies (Drones?). https://lnkd.in/gUgtpNDy..

How is it possible that we get packages to our door the same-day we order them? As our CEO Hamid Moghadam said in a recent interview: this isn't Star Trek. We can't beam packages to our doorstep. What we are doing: investing in innovative logistics providers, like Pandion, that use next-level technology to come as close as possible to SciFi delivery, including during the craze of holiday gift-giving season.
