Methodology

The Last Mile Is Broken

In fast-paced Hong Kong, traditional door-to-door delivery has become increasingly inefficient and costly, creating frustration for customers and courier services alike.

🕑

Inconvenient Delivery

Missed deliveries and rigid time windows disrupt busy urban schedules, forcing customers to rearrange their days around parcels.

💰

High Labor Costs

Door-to-door services in dense areas involve significant labor, fuel, and vehicle costs — driving up prices and reducing courier profits.

🔒

Security Concerns

Unattended parcels left at doorsteps are susceptible to theft or damage, creating liability issues for customers and couriers.

🚚

Inefficient Last Mile

Multiple delivery attempts waste time and resources, making the last mile the most costly and time-consuming part of logistics.
