Your couriers receive clear instructions via the app, including clear information about distance and travel time so they can inform the customer of the arrival time.
Scaling Your Delivery Network
As the volume of deliveries and the geographic scale of your last mile logistics grows, your delivery network will become increasingly complex. Many operate complex webs of internal fleets and external carriers (3PLs), each with their own specialisms, constraints, coverage and costs. 3PL logistics allow for rapid scale, letting you branch out as the volume of your deliveries grows without the huge capital investment required for purchasing vehicles.
Professional Requirements and Driver Skills
Delivery Drivers form an essential link in the supply chain, connecting retailers, restaurants, couriers and logistics firms with businesses and consumers. Delivery Drivers need a balance of technical skills and interpersonal abilities, including confident vehicle control and strong awareness of road safety. Typical responsibilities include:
- Loading and unloading goods and securing cargo.
- Following planned routes or navigation systems.
- Completing delivery paperwork or electronic proof of delivery.
- Reporting any incidents or vehicle defects.
Customer contact is a regular feature of many roles, so a polite and professional manner is required. Digital literacy is also increasingly important since many operations use handheld devices, route optimisation software and telematics.
