At Xcel Delivery, we use innovative route planning software and route consolidation techniques to improve delivery times, increase reliability and efficiency, and reduce emissions and cost. If your company is committed to finding sustainable, eco-friendly delivery solutions, partnering with us at Xcel can help you reach your goals.
Route consolidation is the process of combining multiple different delivery routes into fewer ones to improve efficiency and save time, fuel, and resources. This process enhances customer service quality and reduces the risk of misdeliveries, delays, loss, and theft. Here is a closer look at how partnering with Xcel for route consolidation can reduce your carbon footprint and lower your costs.
Shorter Travel Times
Route consolidation reduces the travel time for each shipment by minimizing the number of trips that are needed and the number of miles traveled. This improves efficiency, reduces your carbon footprint and fuel emissions, and saves you money.
Lower Fuel Consumption
Because fewer vehicles will be on the road and the vehicles being used will travel shorter distances, they will consume less fuel. This means lower fuel costs and reduced emissions, as well as reduced wear and tear on vehicles.
Reduced Transportation and Labor Needs
Consolidating routes ensures that vehicles are used to their full capacity. They won’t be traveling inefficiently, and you won’t need to rely on increased labor to meet your delivery goals. This can lower your transportation and labor costs per shipment.
Increased Efficiency
When we use our advanced route optimization software and route consolidation, we can streamline logistics and make deliveries more efficient. Increased efficiency means lower costs, reduced labor, faster delivery times, and improved customer satisfaction.
Lower Chance of Delays and Lost or Misdelivered Packages
When packages are delayed, lost, or misdelivered, your company may have to pay for the cost of re-shipment as well as searching for the original package. To make things right with the customer, you may also need to send them a new shipment for free and pay for expedited or same-day delivery services. With route consolidation, there is a lower chance of delayed, lost, or misdelivered packages. You can save money and improve customer satisfaction.
