70+ stores. 4 weeks. Zero surcharges.
How Last Mile Solutions launched last-mile delivery operations for 70+ retail locations in under a month — and kept on-time performance at 99%.
When Walmart needed to stand up same-day and next-day last-mile delivery across dozens of locations — fast — they turned to Last Mile Solutions. LMS mobilized its proprietary Core network, applied FinalFare all-in pricing, and delivered photo proof-of-delivery on every parcel from day one. The ramp was complete across 70+ store locations in under four weeks.
What the retailer needed to solve
Speed to market under pressure
Retail delivery programs do not wait for a leisurely carrier onboarding. The retailer needed operational coverage across a large geographic footprint, with real driver capacity, on a timetable most carriers would not commit to.
Surcharge-free unit economics
The retailer's delivery economics required a predictable, all-in per-parcel cost — not a base rate surrounded by fuel surcharges, residential surcharges, and peak-demand adders that erode margin with every wave.
Proof of delivery at scale
Customer experience on high-volume retail delivery depends on proof-of-delivery confidence. Every parcel needed a photo record, not just a scan, to close the loop with end customers.
How we delivered
Core network mobilization
LMS activated its Core proprietary network across the required store corridors. Core routes run on LMS's proprietary routing engine, giving the team visibility and control from the moment a parcel enters the building.
FinalFare pricing from day one
Every parcel was priced on LMS's FinalFare model — a single all-in rate with no fuel surcharge, no residential surcharge, no DAS or EDAS adder, and no peak surcharge. The retailer's finance team saw exactly what they would pay, on every invoice, before the first parcel moved.
Photo proof-of-delivery on every stop
LMS's driver app captures a photo at every delivery, timestamped and geolocated, so the retailer and their customers have a closed chain of custody on every parcel — no exceptions.
Rapid integration and communication
LMS's operations and integrations teams worked directly with the retailer's logistics leadership to configure routing, route capacity, and data feeds in parallel with driver onboarding, compressing what typically takes months into weeks.
