Your last mile is hiding savings. Find them.
Five measurable leaks: kilometers, failed deliveries, planning, calls and idle capacity. Calculate each one with your numbers.
This tool is built for operations with physical deliveries and an in-house or outsourced fleet: distribution, retail with delivery, food and beverage, construction materials and field service. If your operation does not make deliveries, check out the other tools in the hub.
Preloaded values are editable references. The formula is in plain sight. The result comes from your data, not from promises.
Example scenario: the preloaded values are an editable starting point, not market averages. Replace them with yours.
Fuel plus wear and tear, in the selected currency.
Total across all dispatchers.
Improvement levers
How much you want to improve each leak. The preloaded values are examples, not measured results: adjust each lever to your own target.
Not converted into dollars: shown as capacity to grow without adding vehicles.

Extra capacity (not monetized)

Annual projection + breakdown by lever + assumptions table. The result on screen is free and requires no sign-up.
How do we calculate this?
kmSavings = vehicles x kmPerRoute x kmReduction x costPerKm x days failedSavings = deliveries x (pctFailed - targetFailed) x redeliveryCost x days planSavings = (planHours - newPlanHours) x dispatcherHourCost x days callSavings = calls x callReduction x costPerCall x days monthlySavings = sum of the four extraDeliveriesPerDay = deliveries x extraCapacity (not monetized; shown as capacity to grow without adding vehicles)

What the Last Mile Cost Calculator measures
The last mile accounts for a large share of the logistics cost of every delivery, and it almost always hides kilometers and calls that nobody tracks.
The four leaks the calculator adds up
The tool turns four typical leaks of last mile delivery into money: the extra kilometers driven on unoptimized routes, the failed deliveries that have to be reattempted, the hours spent planning routes by hand and the where-is-my-order tracking calls.
With your fleet, monthly deliveries and the real costs of your operation, the result shows the current total cost and the recoverable share with optimized logistics. The formula and assumptions stay in plain sight.
What the result is for
It helps you size the savings from route optimization and real-time tracking before evaluating logistics software: Trazzo handles route planning and proactive communication with the recipient.
The downloadable report projects the full year lever by lever, with the assumptions table ready to discuss with operations and finance.
Frequently asked questions
Does it apply if I outsource my fleet?
Does it apply if I outsource my fleet?
Yes, if you pay per kilometer, per delivery or per redelivery. Adjust the unit costs to your arrangement.
Why isn't the extra capacity converted into dollars?
Why isn't the extra capacity converted into dollars?
Because its value depends on your margin per delivery. We show it in deliveries per day so you can put a value on it yourself.
