We all want the cheapest and most efficient parcel delivery service. Couriers and shippers compete to deliver items such as packages, parcels and documents for the lowest costs in the quickest time. Did you know that 27% of all carrier journeys are empty? Carriers and couriers are in business for profit and the only way they can maximise profit and keep customers' costs down is to run to full capacity. Here lies a problem; there is never any guarantee that whilst a courier is delivering your package, they will have an item to collect when they arrive at your parcel's destination. To create yet another problem, your courier may pick up another delivery but it is further away. He still has to return and if his courier van is empty, someone has to pay for that journey. This scenario is compounded by the fact that almost every UK delivery van and motorcycle courier faces the same problem. Imagine a parcel delivery van on its way to an office building to drop off a package 60 miles from its collection point. The very next-door office someone is about to call a parcel delivery company to collect a package and its destination is close to the first parcel delivery van's return base. If only they could somehow create a synergy? The first van returning with a job that will pay for that journey and reduce the customer's cost. The massive UK parcel delivery companies and franchise parcel delivery firms have a far better chance than a local independent courier of developing an efficient network unless someone can set up a brokerage. The problems with such brokerages are that of independence and bias. If a large UK nationwide courier set up a brokerage network, the small and independents may be justified in thinking that they would simply pick up the dregs. In reality, if a totally independent organisation set up a UK based courier network system and it was successful, they would be too busy running the operation to deliver parcels. I embarked upon a quest to find such a firm, so in Google I typed in 'competitive quotes for overnight parcel deliveries.' The number one spot was www.imailit.co.uk. an intermediary web-based application from iPort (Europe) Ltd, it provides access to thousands of potential new customers. Shippers use iMailit online to obtain instant, competitive quotes from couriers that happen to have a vehicle in the area at the right time, whether based there or just passing through on the way to, or from, another delivery. This intelligent use of information means part-full deliveries or empty return journeys will become a distant memory. iMailit is available on-line to anyone in the UK therefore your customer base could extend from John OGroats to Lands End. This means you will immediately and cost-effectively be exposed to a much wider and larger target audience. And as long as you are in a position to provide the client with the service they require your location is no longer an issue. iMailit not only introduces
you to a whole new customer base, it will also manage the administration
process for you. This amazing system sends notification of bookings
to you via email or text and once a job has been agreed, iMailit manages
the booking reference, POD, invoicing and chases payment. So you only
need to send 1 invoice for multiple deliveries direct to iPort ( Europe
) Ltd. With iMailit it you can check delivery schedules and customer history online to ensure you provide a knowledgeable and efficient service. You will also have access to free customer reviews that rate your service. In addition iPort also offers iMailit Desktop. This logistics management PC application manages day-to-day business operations for any bookings you take independently of iMailit, as well as your own invoicing and POD activities. And for an even more efficient service, you can integrate vehicle movements with iMailit online. By logging all your vehicle movements you will be able to benefit fully from iMailits service.
