6 Logistics Actions to Take Before Closing Out 2021
We have about 7 weeks left in 2021. What a year it’s been! Lots of ups and downs, the end of a pandemic and the resurgence of the same pandemic, supply chain woes, and talk of turkey shortages. Who else is ready to put 2021 to bed!?
Before you say “goodbye” to this year and “hello” to the next, you’re going to want to take these 6 DFW logistics actions with your business.
Sort out your storage sitch-
Nobody likes clutter. As you head into the New Year, get rid of the clutter by utilizing a centrally located and secure warehouse space- like the one operated by Dallas Courier! Seasonal items, overstock, and even fulfillment operations are all covered by warehousing experts. FDA certified space, temperature controlled options, and additional security upon request are just a few of the perks of Dallas Courier’s warehouse.
Automate your logistics-
There’s nothing better than setting up a schedule and letting it run on auto for the foreseeable future. When you automate your logistics, you set up your pick up and delivery schedule, then let it run-on time, every time with a dependable courier like Dallas Courier. Your customers stay happy and you stay less busy.
Go digital-
More consumers are foregoing in person purchasing and depending on virtual methods of shopping. Your business, if it isn’t already, needs to enter into the 21st century and go digital. This looks different for every business. It might start with utilizing an app- like our Eagle Express app, which takes logistics to your smart device and gives you all the tools and information necessary to manage your inventory from your fingertips. It might mean utilizing a logistics professional with a warehouse management system that makes it simple to manage your inventory. Or it could mean a total shift from brick-and-mortar locations to eCommerce, fulfilled by a logistics expert like Dallas Courier. Going digital won’t be a luxury in 2022, it will be a necessity.
Consider new markets-
Reaching new customers outside of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex might seem daunting, but with the assistance of a third party logistics provider like Dallas Courier, new markets are within reach. Dallas Courier Service offers out of town delivery, as well as storage and fulfillment. You can store your items with us, and we’ll pick and pack your delivery on your behalf. Then, our professional and impressionable drivers will deliver it to the hands of your customers. Before investing in a fleet of vehicles, a new storefront, or even storage space near your new market, test it out new locations with a 3PL like Dallas Courier.
Offer same day delivery-
The end of year logistics gets frantic quickly. In these last few weeks of 2021, get your same day delivery game going with an urgent delivery provider. Your clients are also scrambling to tie loose ends before the New Year. Getting them their products quickly, sometimes within the hour, will help boost your fourth quarter revenue. It will also give you time to establish a great relationship with your on demand delivery provider. Making fast, same day deliveries a regular offering for your clients meets their changing expectations for delivery.
Be generous-
We all could use this reminder. As we round out 2021, now is the time to make those charitable contributions to causes that mean something to you and your employees. Remember- your contributions are tax deductible, but, even more importantly, they’re a way to show love and generosity to those who need it this season.
