New Service Planner added to TransitQuote Pro v5.0.1

Posted on August 23, 2023 by HQ - Release, WordPress Plugin

The TransitQuote Service Planner is Now Available For All Pro Customers

Included with TransitQuote Pro v5.0.1 is the first beta version of the TransitQuote Service Planner (Beta release). This is the first part of a major admin UI upgrade that has been in the works for some time.

The Service Planner is a new page for courier or transportation business team website administrators to set up and manage the services, vehicles and the billing rates that you offer your customers on your business website.

The original plugin dashboard is still available so using the Service Planner is entirely optional.

In the first version we focused on making it easier to set up and adjust distance based and flat rate billing by showing a live preview of the quotes that will be generated based on the rates that you enter.

Maximizing Efficiency in Last Mile Delivery Operations

Posted on March 31, 2023 by Amit Pant - Commercial, Courier, Logistics, Resources, Transportation

Maximizing efficiency in last mile delivery operations refers to the process of optimizing the final stage of the supply chain where goods are transported from a transportation hub or warehouse to their final destination, typically a customer’s doorstep. The last mile is often the most expensive and time-consuming part of the delivery process, and it can also be the most challenging due to factors such as traffic congestion, unpredictable weather conditions, and complex urban landscapes.

To improve efficiency in last mile delivery operations, companies need to implement strategies and technologies that can streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience. This may include the use of advanced analytics and routing software to optimize delivery routes, the deployment of electric or hybrid delivery vehicles to reduce emissions and operating costs, and the integration of mobile and digital technologies to provide real-time tracking and notifications to customers.

Efficient last mile delivery operations are critical for businesses that rely on fast and reliable delivery to remain competitive in the market. By optimizing their delivery operations, companies can enhance customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and gain a competitive advantage in the increasingly crowded e-commerce space.
