OneRail Recognized in 2023 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Smart City Technologies and Solutions

Company named as a Sample Vendor for Last-Mile Delivery Solutions

OneRail, a leading provider of solutions in last mile omnichannel fulfillment, recently announced that it had been positioned by Gartner as a Sample Vendor for Last Mile Delivery Solutions in the 2023 Gartner Hype Cycle for Smart City Technologies and Solutions.

According to the Gartner Hype Cycle Research Methodology, “Gartner Hype Cycles provide graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. Gartner Hype Cycle methodology gives you a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of your specific business goals.”

The 2023 Hype Cycle for Smart City Technologies and Solutions focuses on the holistic ecosystem approach made possible by data exchanges and digital twin use cases. A smart city is designed to achieve a sustainable and people-centric quality of life by creating an intelligent urban ecosystem.

The report identifies last mile delivery (LMD) solutions on the Slope of Enlightenment in its Hype Cycle Phases and designated a maturity rating of “early mainstream,” demonstrating that these LMD solutions can positively improve processes and the overall customer experience. The report noted, “LMD solutions can improve sustainability service levels, providing capabilities to allow end customers to choose more sustainable transportation options.”

“As technology and supply chain leaders look to optimize and automate their operations, last mile delivery solutions provide ways to not only gain greater efficiencies and cost savings but also help create more sustainable practices,” said OneRail Founder and CEO Bill Catania. “OneRail’s technology automates delivery transactions and consolidates orders to reduce costs and emissions as well as add more capacity. For companies looking to gain more flexibility and scale their omnichannel strategy, OneRail has a differentiated offering.”
