Abstract

Digitization in logistics bears enormous potential for increased efficiency. Especially, the logistics of the last mile that causes between 13% and 75% of the overall logistics cost of parcel shipment could strongly benefit from digitization and an increased transparency. This transparency and a smart process control can be achieved with the help of a smart service platform. Such a platform connects with sensor, ID, and authentication technology in order to operate approaches, such as crowd logistics and sharing concepts with the goal of enabling an efficient, sustainable and user friendly last mile process. The contribution of this paper is a first conceptualization of the smart service platform for last mile logistics with special regards of the underlying business process management. A design science research approach is applied.
