A great way to reduce e-commerce logistics & Last Mile costs & improve order delivery performance is for retailers & manufacturers to take more control. Reverse Outsourcing. Bring segments in-house.

Inventory / product weight & cube are regular challenges for warehousing. Now put them into e-commerce & its Order Delivery Last Mile velocity world.
