Major names in container shipping and haulage are DHL Supply Chain and LF Logistics rebranded as Maersk Line. Their specialty lies in consolidated bulk transport optimization.

Last-mile logistics crucially impacts customer experience via the final dispatch stage. Reliable, transparent and responsive providers are essential for enterprises to track orders and ensure fulfillment promises. Well-known app-based last-mile delivery companies include Black Arrow Express, Lalamove, Transportify, Move IT, and Ninja Van.
