WayPoint Logistics: The Driving Force of Final Mile Solutions
Take New Direction With Your Supply Chain
In the consumer world, E-commerce is king. Now more than ever, people are purchasing from behind their computer screens—forcing companies to adapt and seamlessly manage shipping challenges.
The transfer of goods to the final destination is often referred to as “the final mile."There is, however, another phrase that pervades the transportation industry: “the last mile problem.” This infamous expression speaks to the fact that many companies cannot adequately manage the final mile. Even more, a large majority of 3PL providers fail to meet their customers’ deadlines and key metrics.
It doesn’t matter if everything plays out smoothly up until the end stage; if the final mile is handled poorly, it offsets everything prior. Ultimately, a company’s execution of the final mile is crucial. Without a sound strategy, businesses will suffer—most notably in the form of customer dissatisfaction and reduced profit.
An Analogy to Consider
Tackling the final mile is like taking a road trip: before you can reach your destination, you need the right direction.
At WayPoint Logistics, we’ll help you navigate the final mile—and provide a pleasant experience for your company along the way.

Our Technology: Your Shiny New Wheels

Beating the Clock—Without the Shortcuts
It’s sometimes tempting to veer off course and take a shortcut—but you also run the risk of getting lost in the process. Unfortunately, many 3PL companies try to take shortcuts during the last leg of delivery, and their negligence is reflected in the results.
At WayPoint Logistics, nothing matters more than integrity. As we take your packages to the final mile, we do things the right way, not the easiest way. Our drivers meet your deadlines and demands not because we cut corners, but because we have the skills and tools to overcome the hurdles.
