In today’s demanding logistics landscape, companies need agile, sustainable, and efficient solutions. One of the most innovative is the logistics microhub — a small, urban warehouse designed to optimize last-mile delivery.

What is a logistics microhub?

A logistics microhub is a strategically placed transfer point located close to the final delivery destination. Unlike traditional distribution centers, it’s compact, flexible, and supports eco-friendly transport methods like electric bikes, drones, or autonomous vehicles.

What is it used for?

It serves as an intermediate node between the main warehouse and the end customer, allowing companies to:

  • Speed up deliveries

  • Reduce traffic in congested urban areas

  • Cut carbon emissions

  • Enable more adaptable and sustainable delivery models

By being closer to the consumer, it helps reduce transportation costs while improving service reliability.
