Why do Distributors Need Delivery Tracking for?

Table of Contents

Tracking your delivery goods until it reaches the customer is one of the important elements of distribution. The absence of an operational system for tracking goods can lead to cost overruns, delivery delays, and a poor customer experience. 

So what can you do to improve the buying experience and retain more customers?

What Delivery Challenges You Need to Look For?

    • Delivery courier takes time to find the exact location from the address 
    • The process is inefficient and takes a lot of time, resulting in late deliveries
    • No accurate latest position so it’s confusing for delivery couriers, customers, and companies
    • Too much time on the road resulting in narrow delivery range, even though resources are sufficient
    • The system is not flexible enough. Hence, last minute shipping and product returns are difficult to be accommodated

What is Digitizing Delivery Tracking For?

Having a digital monitoring system enables accurate monitoring (status, location, PIC) in real time.

Efficient shipping tracking helps companies to:

    • streamline distribution process
    • ensure goods are delivered to the right destination (with correct SKU and quantity)
