Procuring Your Logistics Solution
For many businesses, the procurement of logistics can be a costly and time-consuming task. For many people, the myth prevails that arranging same day delivery logistics services is an expensive alternative to organising the services as ‘next day’ services. When you procure logistics with World Courier Express, the same day service offered by our courier team can be no more expensive than the next day option. When arranging a courier service, look no further than World Courier Express.
What is Logistics Management?
Logistics management encompasses a vast range of organisational and administrative duties relating to the procurement of logistics, and engagement of logistics services. There are core components of this logistics management which every business must consider. These include the management of transportation, warehousing and packaging. The area of transportation management in particular entails arranging inbound and outbound transportation of goods, management of consignments and finalising details thereof.
What do you need to consider when procuring logistics?
Flexibility
One of the first things to consider when arranging logistics services is the flexibility of the service available to you. At World Courier Express, we have access to a fleet of over 4,000 vehicles of all shapes and sizes: whether you need an Artic or 18-Tonne Truck, or the popular Short Wheel Base or Luton vans, World Courier Express’s flexible and diverse range of vehicles means they can be truly flexible. The additional benefits of this fleet mean that our clients do not have to maintain or organise their own fleet of vehicles, or be limited to the restrictions of just one vehicle size or type.
Efficiency
When procuring logistics services, it is imperative to determine whether or not your proposed courier service is able to meet your vital deadlines. World Courier Express ensures that all consignments are undertaken to a schedule that suits you and fits with your production line and warehouse capacity.
We at World Courier Express will also never co-load your goods, unlike many major couriers. That means that when you procure our logistics services you can enjoy direct service from A to B, for your goods only and nobody else’s. This additionally ensures a minimised risk of damage to your items, as well as guaranteeing the speed and efficiency of a direct trip with no stops along the way.
Same Day or Next Day Delivery?
It is not uncommon for delivery drivers and their companies to charge extra for same day delivery. This means that for last-minute sensitive or urgent consignments, cost must be increased in order to meet your deadlines. At World Courier Express, we know that same day deliveries can often be of extreme importance – and the last thing you want to do is find yourself paying extra.
World Courier Express charges the same price for our same day and next day delivery. We think this is fair, because we follow the exact same process for each type of delivery, and guarantee the same consistently high level of service. The only thing that changes (as you might expect) is the day…
After all, we know that some things just can’t wait. No matter your industry, we at World Courier Express often have urgent same day delivery requests; whether that’s for time-sensitive documents, vital engine components for aviation, or an essential part of your production line. We know that every missed minute is costly, and that same day is the only option in many cases. That’s why wherever, whenever: we’re there.
Price
