Short of drivers? Your business can still deliver
Posted by AndrewT on 17th Sep 2021
Are driver shortages impacting your business? With driver shortages, empty supermarket shelves, delivery delays and waste / recycling collections being extended it seems every sector is being affected. Add into this recruitment, retention and the rising costs of drivers and the challenges soon mount up.
What can be done now to meet the demand and maintain customer satisfaction with the drivers and vehicles you already have? Intelligent solutions are needed to overcome the challenge of increased demand in getting goods and people from A to B. Advanced route optimisation is the key and has helped to increase delivery capacity by 35% without adding drivers or vehicles. It also reduces driver stress and aids retention by giving them a delivery plan that is achievable within their drivers' hours or shift.
