On-demand delivery a lifesaver for local SMEs and businesses

ONE of the main struggles faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger enterprises is managing logistics as their businesses grow.

When smaller companies just start out, they are often used to doing it all by themselves. However, as the business expands, these owners realise they cannot be spending hours packing goods and managing deliveries manually.

This is where on-demand delivery services like Pickupp can come into play.

Take Jenny, for example. As an entrepreneur that sells different items, she can use Pickupp's express same-day deliveries for freshly baked goods and next-day deliveries for toys.

At the same time, she and her customers get an accurate overview regarding the delivery status of every order. Last but not least, they can cope even during peak seasons, thanks to Pickupp's proprietary sorting, batching and routing software that can handle orders instantly regardless of volume. This way, Jenny can enjoy extra peace of mind.
