Global Trends in E-commerce Logistics: Monitoring, Certification, and Market Transitions
Retain and expand your revenues and your business by utilizing complete visibility of your performance and compliance. Performance Monitoring and Performance Improvement are essential to save costs and enhance flexibility and scalability by increasing your level of automation and digitisation. Improve your performance, from checkout to shipping & delivery to customer service, through advanced Transit Time Monitoring Systems and Real-Time Tracking.
The Importance of Certified Transit Time Measurements
Due to the strong competition in the market, service quality expectations are constantly increasing for both postal service providers and their customers. Many public tenders already include requirements for postal service providers to prove their service quality. In contrast to parcels, there is no seamless tracking of standard letter items all the way to the recipient.
Our generic transit time measurement system has been audited and recertified by TÜV Rheinland! Our system for transit time measurements of single letters and bulk mailings continues to meet the criteria of the European standards DIN EN 13850, DIN EN 14534 and DIN EN 14508. To obtain the necessary data, we use tracking technologies such as RFID tags and live trackers, as well as trained Mailagents panelists who send, receive and report test items. This process can be viewed and evaluated in real time through our Real-Time Performance Management™ platform.
Challenges in the E-commerce Logistics Market
Notably, the Global Ecommerce segment had been struggling to achieve profitability over the past several years in the face of macroeconomic and industry headwinds. Pitney Bowes’ e-commerce logistics unit is shutting down, with many of its parcel delivery and returns services ceasing operations. The company faced investor pressure for several quarters to sell the unit amid continued losses. Many parcel delivery providers have struggled to adjust since the demand surge of the COVID-19 pandemic cooled.
- The process, which will occur through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, is expected to conclude early next year.
- Global Ecommerce facilities will accept customers' Domestic Forward Standard Delivery and Domestic Cross-Border U.S. Outbound packages until 12 p.m. local time on Aug. 17.
- The company will not accept any returns packages in its pickup and dropoff network after Aug. 9.
UPS estimated earlier this year that the U.S. small package market had a carrier capacity surplus worth 12 million in average daily volume, giving carriers little room for error. What I will tell you is this market is very hard right now with the overcapacity that's out there.
