Abstract

This chapter presents innovative logistics solutions found in e-commerce. The challenges of last mile delivery and innovative solutions, including pick-up points and automated parcel machines, are highlighted. The evolution of delivery methods, with significant investments in autonomous technologies such as drones and autonomous robots, is analysed. The advantages and disadvantages of such solutions were analysed, while acknowledging current regulatory constraints and challenges. Innovative hybrid delivery models are also presented, including the integration of van and drone delivery and the integration of drones with parcel machines. In addition, the chapter discusses trends related to faster delivery times, the importance of returns logistics, and the integration of 3D printing in e-commerce. The discussion concludes with innovative solutions for reusable packaging, which has important environmental implications.
