In Supply Chain Logistics, Every Move Counts
Great news comes out of the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH)! If you were worrying about closing your exercise rings during the holiday break, you can worry a little less. That’s because all physical activity is beneficial. From walking to cycling to gardening, there is no hierarchy of movement. All forms of exercise have purpose.
Every move counts.
That means some of your favorite holiday activities are considered exercise. And when you need a total of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, you need all the help you can get! Not to mention, you have to offset those Christmas cookies somehow.
Here are a few uniquely festive activities that count towards your exercise:
Cleaning your house for guests.
Walking to see the neighborhood Christmas lights.
Window shopping.
Sledding, snowball fights, or trying to walk on the ice sheets that come for Texas.
Decorating or cleaning up your yard.
Playing with your kids.
Dancing the night away.
Grocery shopping.
Not only is exercise a great way to stave off the five pounds the average American gains during the holiday season, it’s also a great stress reliever. And these days, we all could use a little less stress. And if you just can’t seem to get to the gym or go out for a run, remember: Every move counts.
Here at Dallas Courier, we wholeheartedly believe that! In fact, we believe that concept carries over into our job as the #1 logistics provider for Dallas Fort Worth. Every move counts.
From start to finish, it all adds up. If one link in the supply chain is broken, the delivery is unsuccessful.
We’re intentional with every step of your supply chain logistics. Here’s how:
Step 1: Placing your Delivery
Placing your delivery is a crucial first step, but it’s also pretty simple. Our couriers are committed to being available for clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our logistics experts are on the line no matter when you call. We’ll help plan and schedule your delivery. With a few pieces of information about your order, we can have your cargo on its way in as little as 45 minutes.
Step 2: Packaging and Loading
Picking, packing and loading your items is an equally important step. Fragile, perishable, or heavy loads need a little TLC to ensure a successful delivery. These types of deliveries also require special tools. Lifts, refrigerated vehicles, and special packaging materials are just a few of the tools Dallas Courier Service utilizes for packaging and loading your cargo.
Step 3: Route Planning
The route planning process actually occurs prior to pick up, but it can also remain fluid, which is why it’s step #3. Our expert logistics planners create streamlined routes for one stop or one hundred. Utilizing state of the art technology, GPS, and logistics software, our couriers are able to avoid slowdowns, hit all your stops, and arrive on time, every time. If you have a change of plans, we’re happy to accommodate. Our drivers are in constant contact with our dispatch team, which means last minute additional stops or changes to the route are no problem.
Step 4: Handoff
At Dallas Courier, we believe that our couriers are an extension of your customer service. They’re the face of your delivery. That’s why our drivers are hand selected for safety and skill. They’re uniformed and carry identification as to create the best first impression on your customers. Additionally, our couriers are on time. This is one of the best ways so ensure your clients are satisfied with the delivery process.
Step 5: Delivery Confirmation
The final step in the delivery prioress is the confirmation of delivery. Utilizing our brand-new app, you can track your delivery from start to finish. You’ll know exactly when it arrived, who signed for it, or where it was placed with photo proof of delivery. Our app can also give you information such as the final invoice and details on the delivery that was completed or deliveries from the past. Our app puts the power of information in the hands of our customers, making it simple to complete deliveries and start new ones next time.
Every move counts, especially during the holiday season.
Whether it’s your daily exercise or your daily deliveries, the little things really add up! While we can’t help you complete your rings every day, we can help you complete your delivery routes or urgent transportation needs.
