Use Case: Agent Network
Industry Overview
The rapid growth of ecommerce has reshaped the final mile segment of the transportation industry. While some companies operate dedicated delivery hubs nationwide to support their ecommerce operations, most rely on a network of independent agents or a combination of regional carriers to handle deliveries.
Independent delivery agents offer a scalable and cost-effective way to grow a delivery network while maintaining service quality. However, one of the biggest challenges is the lack of unified data connectivity. Leading ecommerce companies like Amazon and Wayfair have raised the bar—customers now expect real-time updates, seamless service, and full visibility. Competing at that level requires integrated systems that can deliver a connected and consistent final mile experience.
To address this, many 3PLs and 4PLs have developed their own proprietary platforms that agents must use to receive and manage orders. While this approach improves visibility, it also creates additional work. Agents working with multiple logistics partners are forced to navigate several different systems, increasing complexity and reducing operational efficiency.
