Your transportation team has become so important to your business\u2019 success over the last few years. The Amazon effect \u2013 the speed of expectations has altered the demands and behaviour of consumers and businesses. Brand surveys have shown that speed of delivery in the last mile, as well as the expectation of free delivery for B2C companies, impacts customer satisfaction more than ever. The expectations for B2C are fast and free shipping while maintaining a competitive price point. Deliver later than expected and risk a negative brand review. Charge for shipments and risk losing brand-loyal customers to your competitors. Raise prices and risk losing customers completely. For B2B deliveries, parcel and freight, these supply lines need to flow at the speed of business as your customers are counting on them to operate their businesses.<\/p>\n

Navigating the Supply Chain Crunch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are in a supply chain crunch. There are capacity issues, labour shortages, government regulations, driver shortages, inflation, high fuel costs and general rate increases that have left many shippers feeling the pain more than ever while eating into profits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The speed of delivery also drives the cost up for shippers and that has a detrimental effect on the bottom line. If you don\u2019t promise customers fast delivery, your competitors will. This puts a lot of stress on your transportation team. You want to help drive efficiencies and control costs, to gain a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

Boosting Your Brand’s Reputation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Doing nothing or maintaining the status quo is not an option. If there were just one overarching issue, then maybe it wouldn\u2019t crush your business to ignore it, but businesses are taking shots from every angle.\u00a0Ask yourself what deleterious effect would a slew of negative reviews of your brand based on it failing to be delivered on time have on it long term?<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon, Walmart and other big box retailers are full of negative reviews that have nothing to do with the product but everything to do with last-mile delivery expectations that affect the brand.\u00a0<\/span>Everyone in your extended organisation including your in-house transportation department, 3PLs, 4PLs and vendors who ship your goods have the ability to affect your brand\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n
