Around 500 BC, the philosopher Heraclitus wrote, “The only thing that is constant is change.” That statement is just as true now as it was back then. It's no secret that the way we do business constantly evolves. Successful businesses stay successful by adapting quickly.

Nowhere is this more true than in the way we transport products. Over the years, we’ve gone from 5-7 day shipping times to 2-day delivery windows to same-day delivery. Some of the most profitable, recognizable, and successful consumer-facing companies are those that are quickest to meet delivery demand.
On the B2B side, delivery processes and expectations have been slower to change, with many operations still relying on traditional courier services for deliveries. However, in the last couple of months, we’ve seen the value of reliable, efficient, and cost-effective same-day delivery. We've also seen how traditional ways of doing business can be impacted by unexpected events.
So now is a good time to ask yourself two important questions:
The Challenges of Traditional Courier Services
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the business model of traditional courier services is less efficient and more costly than necessary, especially when you consider the efficiencies gained with modern technologies, including on-demand service, instant notifications, and GPS tracking. Some of the challenges traditional couriers face include:
You know as well as anyone the impact these challenges can have on your business. When you have a technician in the field waiting for a part, do you want to call a courier service and risk being put on hold? Do you want to guess what the delivery will end up costing? Do you want to be left in the dark on the delivery status?
Neither do we.
