In an age where everything seems to revolve around speed of delivery, it’s important that businesses collaborate with industry partners they know they can rely on.
Retailers, whilst needing to remain competitive, must be aware of current shopping trends and respond to them instantly. The rising popularity and availability of social media to promote, advertise and communicate, coupled with modern technology via smart phones, laptops and tablets have revolutionised the ways in which people spend their money. Online shopping with its next day or even same day delivery promises, is a booming modern day phenomenon which, as future generations adopt new shopping methods, is set to increase further and continually break records.
How can courier companies respond to evolving markets?
From the first message ever sent by carrier pigeon to today’s sophisticated methods of transit, courier companies have always been renowned for their flexible, reliable solutions. Truth is, as with all sectors of industry, they need to be able to adapt and respond to the challenges and demands of the day.
To make their services stand out from the crowd, courier companies must be able to demonstrate efficiency. They need to provide services which their customers can rely on, the little extras which enable them to stay one step ahead of their own competitors transport systems.
What is a transport management system?
Flexibility and visibility within the supply chain is key to keeping ahead of competition and the answer to giving excellent customer service.
A transport management system (TMS) gives you the ability to track and assess each stage of the distribution cycle, plot and progress the delivery journey of your goods and plan for their arrival effectively.
Same Day Couriers Direct’s transport management system (TMS)
Same Day Couriers Direct serve the needs of multiple industries. We recognise the importance of ensuring our deliveries arrive safely, securely and on time. It’s a complex undertaking. Within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, clinics, hospitals and medical institutions depend on us for samples, medical supplies and life-saving equipment and devices. Equally, the IT, marine, aviation and construction sectors rely on our ability to deliver time critical components and spare parts, minimising disruption to their service and downtime of their processes and systems.
Same Day Couriers Direct’s TMS software enable us to utilise a fleet of vehicles for multiple customers in a seamless and efficient way. We can plan the best routes and collection schedules and, through our on board GPS satellite navigation systems with built in traffic management technology, avoid traffic jams, roadworks or emergency situations en route.
Furthermore, this gives all Same Day Couriers Direct customers the ability to track the precise location of their goods at a given time and receive up to date, accurate delivery times. We believe this is imperative – it gives our customers peace of mind and reassurance in our service – which in turn gives them the confidence to select as couriers of choice and encourages them to place more orders.
