Podcast Episode 10: 2-person handling – Successful logistics for the last mile

More and more people are not only ordering everyday necessities on the Internet, but also large items such as a washing machine or a new kitchen. Good planning work and reliable delivery processes are essential to ensure that these goods arrive at customers’ homes without being damaged in any way. This represents a huge challenge for logistics specialists like the Rhenus Group because they not only need to consider the access routes, particularly to private households, but also the spatial conditions at the site, combined with what customers actually want.
