business online. After all, with the sales of
e-retail slated to reach 6.54 trillion by the
year 2022, now is the perfect time to go online
with your business. - However, there is more to an eCommerce business,
than simply launching the website, having the
products, and taking orders. There are so many
things that go on behind the scenes to make the
business work. And, one of those things is having
a great delivery service and the latest delivery
service software. - The good thing is that, with the rise and rise of
eCommerce businesses, there has also been a
subsequent rise in the number of
high-end delivery management software available
in the market.

- Optimizing the routes for speedy delivery
- Consider the budget you have set
- The customer service on offer
- Researching and comparing the options
- Go for a trial version at first
4Outline your expectations and needs
- Before finding the right delivery service
software for your business, you will need to sit
and decide about your expectations and needs. Are
you looking for the software that sends real-time
updates? Or, maybe you want the software to offer
route optimization for the couriers. - Regardless of what you need and expectations are
from a delivery-management software, given below
are the characteristics that will definitely be
of use to you.
5High level of automation
- So, you or your staff are entering the orders and
tracking all the information in a sheet manually. - You are basically managing all the couriers by
hand, and all of your time is being spent in
that. Not something you would want, right? Thus,
you would want the software that offers a greater
degree of automation. - Good software would automate various tasks,
including automatically inputting the data of
orders.
6Real time updates for the customers
- Real times updates are important because they are
convenient for your business, and they also
provide a good way to provide an improved
customer service to the clients. - These updates not only let you keep better track
of the orders, but also let you have all the
records you need to help out the customers when
they come to you with concerns or questions about
their shipment. - The best thing to do is to have the software that
offers real time update to both the customers and
you, so both of you have a clear idea of what to
expect
7Integration with existing software
- It is important for the delivery management
software to get seamlessly integrated with the
existing software you use to run the business. It
will help you if you can connect it to the
software already in use for accepting and
generating orders, and keeping the customers
updated. - For instance, the management system of the live
tracking app Manageteamz can be completely
customized to be integrated with any business.
You can have a food delivery business or you can
be into logistics, the seamless integration
offered by apps like Manageteamz can make life so
much easier for you.
8Easy to use and understand analytics
- Analytics are an important aspect of any business
that is into delivery and logistics, but the
analytics have to be actionable to be useful. You
will need to find the software which offers you
all the data you need to manage your delivery and
orders, and at the same, presents it in a manner
that is easy for you to read and understand. It
will help you in making informed decisions and
taking actions that can help you in improving
your current business processes.
9Optimizing the routes for speedy delivery
- It can be frustrating and time-consuming for a
courier to drive down one street four times for
completing all the deliveries just because that
route wasnt outlined and optimized clearly. It
is annoying to both the business and the
customers because it just ends up taking more
time than necessary, causing concerns and
problems for the customers, and even delaying the
delivery in most cases. - Good thing is that most of the high end software
solutions offer route optimization. It is, in
fact, a crucial attribute that you will want to
have in the software you use.
10Consider the budget you have set
- There is no denying the fact that the latest
piece of delivery software can be quite
expensive. For a small business that has just
opened shop, it might be cost prohibitive to get
the greatest and latest software tools. But, not
when you select the right software! - It is important to keep in mind in this regard
that price is not an assurance of quality or
value. You might pay a big sum of money for
something only to find that it is neither easy to
use nor comes with the solutions that you are
looking for. So, it is important to make sure you
are getting the features that you need for the
price that you are paying.
11The customer service on offer
- So, you spent your money and signed up for the
new software, only to find that you are unable to
contact the customer support when you are looking
for some assistance. At the time of investing in
delivery-management software, it is important to
make sure that service provider has a good
support system for offering assistance and
answering the questions, when needed. - We have seen how technology works just fine
during the regular working hours of the week.
But, what about that one time when you try to get
that last shipment loaded at the end of the shift
on a Friday? What if the technology starts giving
away then? Its time like this that you are in
the most need of customer support.
12Researching and comparing the options
- Once you know what you are searching for in the
delivery service software, its time to start
your research. There are so many companies in the
market that offer these services, but each of the
software is different in terms of its features
and performances. In fact, some of those features
you might not even need ever in your line of
work. - Researching on the available options will help
you in narrowing down the list to a couple of
names. Start comparing among these options to
decide the software that fits the needs of your
business the best.
13Go for a trial version at first
- Regardless of how thoroughly you have researched
about the software, dont go ahead and buy it at
the first instance. Just because the software
sounds perfect on paper does not mean that it
will suit your business right. - The companies, like Manageteamz, give you the
chance to test out the software for a certain
period of time before you actually buy it. The
trial version will help you understand whether or
not the software is right for your business. - Summing up
- With the right delivery software, you can solve
more than half the issues faced by your business
with orders and deliveries. And, now you have a
clear idea about how to go about searching for
such software. Go ahead, and start the search now!
