In this paper, we present the deployment of logistic platforms and analyze their issues. This proposal is motivated by the emergent need of modern cities to have an appropriate infrastructure with functional, ecological, technical and geographical features for the optimization of urban transit of goods. Nevertheless, existing solutions for logistics platforms require a big investment in terms of investment and operational cost. This presents a drawback when dealing with budget's restrictions. To that end, we present an experiment of logistic platform solutions supporting urban freight distribution based on real scenario in Metz city (France). Based on the experiment feedback, we propose a mixed approach using reverse logistics as a solution to cover logistic platform cost. Moreover, we discuss the integration of such approach to create benefits for logistic platforms.
