Delivery route optimization: you tell us where to go, we plan the route for you

Posted Alex

I’m happy to announce launch of new  delivery route optimization feature. Schedule deliveries and pickups involving multiple stops in seconds with the help of our premier route optimization solution. This functionality is engaged automatically every time when you need to send a delivery (or multiple deliveries) other than “single pickup – single dropoff” scenario. What we do is we take all points that you’ve provided, and run an optimization calculation to find the one that is the most economically effective to you. No more guesswork for our “bulk shippers” (delivery route optimization was originally requested by our business customers in food, household & flowers delivery). As you can see on a example below, savings can be as high as 35% (of our already low prices) and even more. Of course, there are times when […]

We are happy to announce that now you can schedule your delivery request for any day and time you wish. Have peace of mind, it will not get slipped through the cracks. By default, every delivery is rush. For right now. Immediately. It does not always match your planning process. Now you are free to change that. One option is day of the pickup.
