Final-Mile Delivery in Atlanta: Efficient, Cost-Effective, Accurate, and Timely

Atlanta was founded in 1837 at the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad and has been a transportation hub since its inception—and has grown in significance ever since. In 2025, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is once again the world’s busiest airport—and, in 2024, Airports Council International named Hartsfield-Jackson as the best airport in North America.

As far as last-mile delivery, Atlanta serves as a highway haven, including I-75, I-85, I-20, I-285, I-675, I-575, I-475, SR 400, and U.S. 78. To optimize this crucial supply chain segment, NXTPoint’s 180,000-square foot Class A Atlanta warehouse is strategically located in the downtown connector, which is where I-75 and I-85 merge near the international airport.

The last mile is the most expensive facet of the supply chain, responsible for an estimated 53 percent of total transportation expenses. Specifically, cost will depend upon numerous factors, from origin and destination points to special requirements, warehousing needs, seasonality, and so forth. When NXTPoint provides your final-mile solutions, we’ll negotiate the best price possible within the timetable and services required and transparently provide this information to your company.

Two challenges must simultaneously be addressed with final-mile delivery services. First, to satisfy customers, deliveries must be efficient and cost-effective for the end recipient. Meanwhile, businesses must balance the need for efficient, on-time deliveries with the cost required to achieve the service they desire. To help accomplish both realities, NXTPoint will design the most efficient, cost-effective final-mile solutions possible. How? We leverage our extensive experience, broad and niche areas of expertise, deep networks of trusted partners, and cutting-edge proprietary technology.

Last-mile carrier tracking refers to shipment monitoring so that transaction parties can have real-time information about the delivery’s progress and anticipated arrival. This becomes especially crucial during the final mile when clear communication is vital. Customers may, for example, want to be on site to receive deliveries.

Each situation is unique, depending upon the budget, timetable, and other requirements. NXTPoint will design personalized solutions that meet your needs and goals—accurately, on-time, and on-budget—while ensuring your customers are happy. To discuss a program for your company, please reach out.

Customer satisfaction is extremely important—and so are metrics like on-time and on-budget delivery rates, cost per delivery, low number of missed deliveries, productivity rates per driver, and capacity utilization. Each company may prioritize these metrics in different ways; so, when you talk to our experts, we’ll discuss what matters most to your business and design a program that dovetails with those priorities.
