Best 3PL Partner Aggregation in India
09 November, 2026
The best last-mile delivery software gets each order from store, kitchen or dark store to the door on time, at the lowest cost per delivered order, with fewer calls. Here are the six numbers it should move, and seven reasons businesses choose Adloggs for the last mile.
The best last-mile delivery software assigns every order to the right rider or partner, routes it well, tracks it live, catches delays before the customer does and confirms delivery at the door, for your own riders and your 3PL partners together. Adloggs is last-mile delivery software built in India for that job, across 60+ Indian cities.
The last mile accounts for 41% of supply-chain costs, and with Indian quick commerce forecast to reach US$12.97 billion by 2029, delivery windows keep shrinking. Published by Adloggs.
What last-mile delivery software does
Last-mile delivery software runs the final leg of a delivery, from a store, kitchen, warehouse or dark store to the customer's door. It assigns the rider or partner, plans the route, tracks the trip, keeps the customer informed and confirms delivery. In India it must also handle cash on delivery, several delivery partners and zones that differ by pin code.
Five things make the last mile the hardest leg:
- Many small drops, each with its own address, window and customer.
- Peaks that arrive together: lunch, dinner, weekends and festive sales.
- Failed attempts from unclear addresses or customers who are out, each one paid for twice.
- Several fleets, since own riders rarely cover every peak and every zone.
- Customers who expect live updates and call when they don't get them.
6 KPIs the best last-mile delivery software should move
| KPI | Definition | What the software changes |
|---|---|---|
| On-time delivery rate | Share of orders delivered inside the promised window | AI allocation, routing and SLA alerts before a breach |
| First-attempt success | Share of orders delivered on the first attempt | Serviceability checks, live ETAs and customer updates |
| Cost per delivered order | All delivery costs divided by orders actually delivered | Partner choice on cost per cluster, batching, fewer re-attempts |
| Time to assign | Minutes from order to an accepted rider or partner | Automatic assignment with fallback between partners |
| Status contacts per 100 orders | "Where is my order?" calls and messages | Live tracking and AI answers on WhatsApp and voice |
| Orders per rider hour | Deliveries completed per rider per hour on shift | Batching, multi-stop routes and shorter idle time |
If a vendor can't show you these six for your own orders, by outlet, zone, partner and hour, you won't know whether the software worked. Adloggs shows them in real-time delivery analytics.
