Pooled Distribution and Last-Mile Delivery: A Seamless Integration
Every single moment counts when you’re working in the delivery industry. While we focus on a multi-faceted approach to ensuring your parcels arrive on time to the accurate final destination, we want to take a moment and point out how two of our services work hand in hand.
Pooled distribution refers to how we group together similar packages on the most efficient delivery routes from our strategically positioned warehouses. We maintain operations near Baltimore and Washington, D.C. airports to ensure a high volume of customers in a 50-mile radius get the most on-time results.
We combine this service with bespoke last-mile delivery. This creates efficiencies for business clients needing a more cost-effective solution for the most complex and locally driven parts of the logistical journey.
Boosting Time-Sensitive Deliveries
Time sensitivity is a serious concern in delivery and logistics. With pooled distribution, we offer the hubs necessary to quickly receive, sort, and dispatch deliveries throughout the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area. Instead of getting stuck on a route with endless stops, your parcels land on a highly efficient route because the drivers remain in relative geographic regions.
Better Customer Service and Insights
Both pooled distribution and last-mile delivery are more efficient when combined with our real-time GPS tracking and email notification systems. You have all the information necessary to make any last-minute changes or pass on crucial information to your end customers. These insights help you anticipate logistical budgets and needs while ensuring we get the data feedback necessary to improve our systems.
Reducing Expenses
Using pooled distribution for last-mile delivery also reduces the need for excessive trips to and from different locations. This cuts way down on fuel costs and fleet maintenance. We then pass those savings on to our clients so we remain competitive in our given market. You get more predictable expenses that you can count on year after year.
We should also mention this reduction in resources often fulfills the need for businesses seeking to lower carbon emissions. While shipping and delivery are not likely to be 100% free from emissions, reducing any aspect helps support a more eco-friendly solution that helps your brand with customers seeking such integrations.
Final Thoughts
Finding services and enhancements to our business is part of our core principles. Marrying the benefits of pooled distribution with last-mile delivery ensures you get a quality service provider at every stage of delivery.
