Five Technologies to Make Difficult Distribution a CinchYour company’s ability to satisfy clients is one of the key factors that will determine its overall success. Customer and client service makes your organization stand out from competitors, and helps to improve public image. One part of your customer service that should be analyzed and refined is your delivery of services and goods.  This activity has a big impact on what experience your customers have when consuming your product or service, and will have significant impact on whether or not there is desire to pursue further consumption. Without a prompt or timely system in place, you can be left behind. Use the best and newest technologies to make your process smoother and easier.

Cooling Devices

Instead of using ships to ferry goods for months, embrace aviation technologies. These services are often faster and offer new cooling devices for perishable goods. The use of up to date delivery cars with cooling technology and equipment is vital in counteracting the ever-increasing market competition and also offer a quality improvement strategy that will likely yield delivery of higher quality products. Any business that intends to remain relevant in the market must embrace fast moving delivery vehicles, but remember to keep things cost-effective.

GPS (Global Positioning System) Tracking

The use of Global Position System (GPS) on goods being shipped allows for tracking the location and current position of goods being ferried. It can also determine the real time location and plan for better timing, without having to waste time idling on the ports. A company that embraces GPS timing will have opportunities to overcome delivery risks, which may put you at a disadvantage with competitors.

Optimizer Logistics Software

This software is useful in making important decisions regarding the transport requirements of your goods. Optimizing your logistics creates every day cost-effective transport solutions and evaluates present shipping rates. The software part can also put into report, all the service levels existing for a transport process which will enable your business to make good decisions about goods deliveries.  For very complex logistics optimization, consider specialist firms that do this type of scenario planning for a living, such as Quintiq.

Antimicrobial Packaging

This new technology uses an anti-bacterial paper that kills bacteria in food. The creative innovation is important for food processing firms that want to ensure their products remains fresh for consumption. It’s a great investment that can put your company ahead and promise better shipping and packaging.

Secure Packaging

Don’t leave your products to the security of packing tape alone. Especially if you send sensitive information and goods, you should invest in more secure containers and custom packaging. Places like Phoenix Specialty can work with you to customize shims, spacers or other parts to ensure your products fit securely within your unique containers. This way you can be sure none of your gear will be compromised during transit.
If a client is satisfied with their goods delivery time and process, it is likely they will consider the company for more transactions and recommend to others as a viable consideration. On the other hand, poor deliveries will put the company at risk of losing clients. Use the technology you have available to create efficiency in production and delivery. This can become a positive step in your supply chain management and put you ahead of the competition.
