This article will encompass today’s world of courier and parcel delivery, the growth of ecommerce logistics, the supply chain challenges and the role Dispatch Solutions will play in enabling companies to build a future delivery network.
Evolution of Courier and Parcel Delivery
Regular Courier Services
Courier services used to be practically only postal services, and a few international companies. Delivery services were slow and cranky, tracking options were non existent, unreliable service left no control for businesses when the parcel departed their location.
The Rise of Professional Logistics
With globalization through trade, logistics companies like FedEx, DHL, and Blue Dart emerged as organized logistics with express shipping and time specific parcel deliveries. These options gave businesses the ability to prospect for new clients with confidence.
Ecommerce Evolution
The true evolution started when ecommerce platforms emerged. Companies like Amazon and Flipkart raised the bar and upped the ante in terms of both speed of delivery and customer experience. The bar was set far above the consumer, and subsequently; consumers began to demand same-day delivery, order tracking, and options for returns and exchanges.
The Local Delivery Explosion
Hyperlocal delivery apps disrupted the market even further. They promised instant or 10-minute delivery of groceries, food, medicine, essentials (anything and everything). Courier and logistics companies had to completely adapt to this new “on-demand delivery culture.”
