Last Mile Delivery Software for Modern Courier Companies

The last mile is the most expensive and operationally demanding part of the delivery chain. Customers expect speed, accuracy, real-time tracking, and reliable Proof of Delivery (POD). To meet these expectations, businesses need reliable last mile delivery software — and that’s where MM Courier comes in.

What Is Last Mile Delivery Software?

Last mile delivery software manages the final stage of delivery — from distribution center to customer. It helps couriers plan routes, assign drivers, track parcel statuses, capture PODs, and send delivery updates to clients. Without it, operations become slow, error-prone, and expensive.

MM Courier: Built for Real South African Delivery Operations

MM Courier isn’t built in isolation — it’s developed and tested inside an active courier operation, Pakisa Express Logistics. This gives the platform a real-world advantage — it solves the exact problems couriers face daily.

Key last mile features include:

• ✔ Driver tripsheets with all stops in optimized order
• ✔ Real-time status updates (Attempted, Delivered, Return-to-Depot, etc.)
• ✔ Digital POD captures with signature + image uploads
• ✔ Route optimization powered by Google Maps
• ✔ Live driver performance tracking
• ✔ Automated client notifications
• ✔ FedEx-compliant MDE and XML scan uploads

The Last Mile Challenge

The number one challenge in last mile logistics is unpredictability. Traffic, wrong addresses, missed deliveries, and driver delays all increase cost and reduce customer satisfaction. Companies without software often rely on guesswork, WhatsApp messages, and paper-based PODs.

MM Courier eliminates these issues through automation and real-time data.
