SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Locus, a leading-edge technology company solving for excellence in last-mile logistics, announced the launch of 'Last-Mile Maturity Assessment' - an industry-first benchmarking tool designed to help enterprises evaluate strengths, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and identify new growth opportunities in their last mile.

The Locus Last-Mile Maturity Assessment is a pioneering evaluation tool designed to aid companies in assessing their last-mile strengths, uncovering hidden inefficiencies, and discovering growth opportunities. The online assessment, which is available at no cost, provides a thorough analysis of five critical performance areas via thoroughly researched questions that take just seven minutes to complete. Businesses receive a personalized report with actionable insights and recommendations to enhance their last-mile operations, tailored to their current level of maturity and industry

To help businesses evaluate the maturity of their last-mile operations, the free interactive online assessment conducts an in-depth analysis through well-researched questions spanning five fundamental performance indicators:

• Last-Mile Excellence: How robust last-mile capabilities are in the face of exceptions, unpredictable volumes, and profitability
• Customer Experience: The quality and consistency of the customer experience an organization's last-mile offers
• Workforce Empowerment: Employees' abilities to handle last-mile challenges
• Advanced Analytics: The opportunity to leverage last-mile data and make more informed decisions on the supply chain
• Sustainability: How environmentally sustainable a company's last-mile function is today

The assessment then scales enterprises on a 5-point rating system and categorizes them as businesses in the Emerging, Growth, or Optimized stage. Assessment takers walk away with a 360-degree comprehensive report that delivers personalized recommendations and actionable insights on how to unlock new revenue, and make delivery experiences a differentiator for enterprises.

"Last-mile is the primary touchpoint of the modern customer experience, and while businesses are starting to prioritize this function more than ever, not all know where they stand in their development journey," said Nishith Rastogi, Founder and CEO, Locus.
