In this first episode of our two-part tech series, Jim Royce will strip away the buzzwords and break down what actually makes technology work in last-mile delivery—and what doesn’t.

Because here’s the truth: tech is not the solution in and of itself. It’s simply a reflection of a set of processes .

And if those processes are flawed, the software only accelerates or masks dysfunction.

We’ll cover:

  • The 4 core activities that define every last-mile operation

  • How to tell the difference between useful tech and shiny distractions

  • Why personality (yes, yours) should drive tech decisions

  • And why chasing features without fixing process is a dead-end

This isn’t about tools—it’s about judgment. And smarter decision-making starts here.

👉 Stay tuned for Part 2/2: Process Assessment—where I share the Tech Matrix to help you determine which parts of your business are truly ready for technology, and which need a stronger foundation first.
