Businesses today are under increasing pressure to operate ‘greener’, with customers invariably choosing to buy from companies that do their best to minimise their carbon footprint. Then there’s the financial side of working in an environmentally-friendly way, as those who implement measures to reduce their footprint tend to save money on operating costs.

The good news is that if you are running a business that involves delivering goods to your customers, digital technology now exists that can help you to reduce your carbon footprint at the same time as reducing costs. In this blog, we look at exactly how and why that’s possible.

Cost-Effective Delivery Management Solutions

Mobile digital technology now exists that can help businesses to effectively manage all scheduling, loading and routing of deliveries, meaning that the company using it can proactively reduce their carbon footprint. It does so in a number of ways:

Optimal Delivery Routes - mobile digital technology can work out the quickest and most direct routes for your trucks, saving time and fuel into the bargain. Real-time data is used to create the ideal route which is then sent to the driver’s mobile phone app. This results in multi-drop deliveries that can be optimised with the minimum of fuss, resulting in far less in the way of wasted miles on the road.

Optimised Load Planning - Another way in which digital technology can help is with the optimising of loads, as it’s able to continuously monitor trucks leaving the premises, ensuring that each one is loaded to its maximum capacity. The result - No more half-empty trucks!

Full Transparency of ALL activities - Then there’s the fact that digital delivery technology is able to provide the user with information relating to all business activities. This stream of information is captured and archived so that it can be reviewed and used to create future time and resource-saving strategies whilst helping decision-makers to make more informed real-time calls.

These are just a few benefits from a list of many that implementing mobile digital technology to your delivery business will achieve - offering a frankly unmissable chance to get ahead of your competitors.
