Interpoint Events has launched a new conference and exhibition based on the last mile of the supply chain. Home Delivery Asia Pacific will take place in Melbourne on 16 November at the Automotive Centre of Excellence.
The conference will address the shift to on demand retail services. Simon Cooper Managing Director of Interpoint said “we are experiencing an age of faster deliveries and higher customer expectations. And we are seeing localised customer service and low cost delivery options.”
Interpoint has been organising the Smart Supply Chain & Logistics conferences for more than a decade. Home Delivery is a conference that will address issues such as optimising fulfilment, bringing stores to customers (who want it now) and helping small, local businesses reach new customers. It will include transport options, different payment methods and many of the new IT technologies and apps that are rapidly becoming disruptors and innovators in the last mile of the supply chain.
Foundation sponsor ‘here’ Director Sales Asia Pacific Brent Stafford said “HERE Maps is pleased to sponsor this important Home Delivery Asia Pacific event. This year we have seen rapid growth and competition between many innovative solution providers. Home Delivery is certainly THE hot topic with the likes of our partners at Navman Wireless & Dominos setting the pace and others such as Menulog, Deliveroo, Foodora and most recently Uber Eats going live. Around the APAC region it is a similar story with GrabExpress, Foodpanda, Grubhub, McDonalds and Jollibee. A fiercely contested market spanning not only food delivery but also home shopping and parcel delivery. With many strategic alliances being formed right now, new payment methods and even autonomous delivery being explored and an explosion of the sharing economy generally, this event is perfectly timed.”
The conference has also developed a media partnership with MHD magazine and Transport & Logistics News and is expected to attract around 150 delegates and 10 – 12 exhibitors.
