Hyperlocal logistics refers to the delivery of goods within a small, defined geographic area, typically within 5–20 kilometers. It's designed to fulfill fast, same-day or instant deliveries—especially for e-commerce, groceries, medicine, or restaurant orders.

These are stages of product movement across the supply chain:

🔹 Primary Logistics:
Movement of goods from manufacturer to warehouse or distribution center

Usually involves bulk transport over long distances

Example: A frozen food company shipping 5 tons of product from its factory in Punjab to a warehouse in Delhi

🔹 Secondary Logistics:
Movement of goods from warehouse to retailers, wholesalers, or small hubs

Involves smaller loads and more frequency

Example: Delivering 500 kg of product from a warehouse to 10 retail outlets in Delhi NCR

These represent the three key phases of a delivery journey:

🔸 First Mile:
The journey from the seller/manufacturer to the warehouse or sorting hub

Involves packaging, pickup, and initial shipping

Crucial for speed and traceability

🔸 Mid Mile (or Line Haul):
Transfer between warehouses, hubs, or cities

Often the longest leg in logistics—intercity or interstate transport

Involves bulk movement using trucks or trailers

🔸 Last Mile:
Final leg from the local hub or warehouse to the end customer

Includes doorstep delivery for B2C, or delivery to retailers for B2B

Most time-sensitive and cost-intensive part of logistics
