Real-time delivery tracking is not just convenient for your customers; it is a vital tool to keep your business running smoothly. Trackable delivery utilises GPS technology to pinpoint exactly where a shipment is at any one time. Real-time tracking allows you to reduce delays, build trust, and improve customer satisfaction, so it is a great service to provide if you regularly distribute product.

Customer benefits of trackable delivery 

Customers value reliability and speed with their deliveries, and providing live tracking updates allow customers to easily know exactly when to expect their delivery and keep them aware of any delays which may occur.

Delivery updates reassure the customer that their package has not been lost or forgotten and is en-route to their location – building trust in your brand and reducing possible anxiety about the state of the delivery. Providing detailed tracking information and estimations can also allow people to plan ahead if their delivery is time-sensitive and may not arrive by a deadline, reducing last-minute stress and panic.

Business benefits to a trackable delivery service

Live delivery updates can be just as beneficial to your team and suppliers as to your customers. They allow you to immediately see and manage disruptions in the delivery process and respond proactively, significantly reducing delays or lost shipments.

Delivery communication between suppliers is quicker and easier as the tracking information can be accessed without needing to request delivery updates. With detailed information on exact past routes and delivery timeframes, you can optimise your shipping process by analysing regular bottlenecks or snags so it can be as efficient as possible.

Your customer service team will be freed up from questions about their delivery status from customers, meaning they can prioritise more complicated queries. Tracking information is also beneficial for your drivers, as GPS systems can automatically plan delivery routes and adapt according to traffic or potential delays.

Outsourcing delivery services refers to businesses utilising third-party logistics (3PL) companies to deliver their product. Outsourced delivery services can save you time, money, resources, and stress, so many businesses are choosing to outsource their delivery operations to 3PLs.

If you’re a small business, delivering your product can be an unexpected expense that quickly adds up. Completing these deliveries yourself can be time-consuming, difficult, potential dangerous, and inconvenient routes can lead to further wasted time and resources. These problems can be avoided by outsourcing to a third-party logistics company.

Benefits of Outsourcing Delivery Services

Outsourcing is a cost-effective option for businesses as it saves them from managing a fleet of vehicles and is easily scalable depending on their delivery requirements. Delivery companies will save business money in the long run on expenses like procuring vehicles, drivers, training, permits, fuel, maintenance and more.

If you outsource delivery services you also benefit from the expertise, network, and routes of your delivery partner. 3PLs have trained staff who are experienced in delivering a range of items – reducing the risk of items being damaged in transport. They can also remove recycling or refuse for disposal.

As delivery companies often have multiple client deliveries in a single route, they are more economically viable, and you do not have to waste fuel on sending out small deliveries or reaching remote areas.

Many delivery companies also offer warehousing services in addition to deliveries, which can be very helpful for storing inventory if you don’t have capacity.
