In the area of route optimization, it demonstrates a 20% increase in delivery speed, 15% saving on fuel, hence emissions. Blockchain increases supply chain transparency, eliminates up to 15% fraud and improves customer trust especially when dealing with other nations. The outcome of the study also underlines the importance of last-mile delivery in e- commerce supply chain network and sees innovative techniques and technologies like drones and self-driving vehicles as a way of optimizing the last-mile delivery channels it. Moreover, the study establishes new insights into how the company must adapt to new customer demands using real-time tracking, intensive communication, and tailored product delivery solutions. Therefore, this research is significant to the extensive discourse on e-commerce logistics by giving an encyclopedic approach that can be applied to occasion enhancements in delivery systems. The work advocated a system integrated approach to optimization that takes account of the operation, customer value and the environment.
