Why order volume rises in autumn

Online shopping activity typically picks up in autumn, driven by the end of summer vacations and preparation for the year-end shopping period. During this window, customers expect faster delivery, which adds extra pressure on last-mile logistics.

Optimizing the delivery route

Grouping orders by area cuts down on distance traveled and delivery time. Telematics systems help automatically select the most efficient route. Agreeing on a delivery time window with the customer in advance lowers the chance of a repeat visit and improves overall efficiency.

Choosing the right vehicle

For deliveries requiring frequent stops within a city, a maneuverable, mid-capacity vehicle tends to work more efficiently. When cargo volume doesn't match vehicle size, space goes to waste or extra runs become necessary.

Preparing the fleet for the season

Rising order volume increases daily mileage per vehicle, so scheduling a technical inspection before the season starts is worth planning ahead. Planning an extra shift or driver reserve in advance helps maintain delivery quality during the high-demand period.
