London’s Most Trusted Couriers: Ensuring Safe and Swift Deliveries
Nowadays, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and positively impacted all major industries. The same is true for London’s courier industry.
For instance, the courier industry had a market value of USD 461.69 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a rate of 10.6% annually, from 2024 till 2030. Using technological advancements has only bolstered this.
This is why professionals who work in the courier industry have also been keeping themselves updated about the same to ensure fast, risk-free deliveries. The same is true for our dynamic team at Capital Couriers.
Some ways in which these professionals ensure that the parcels reach you on time are robotic arms, real-time tracking, drones for remote locations, etc.
Let’s explore these strategies with the help of which they ensure timely deliveries in detail below.
How We Ensure Timely Deliveries: Our Secret
Our team makes sure that we deliver your parcels on time in the following manner:
1. Parcel Tracking
Your customers can keep an eye on their parcels with the help of advanced tracking mechanisms.
Most courier companies achieve this with the help of the Global Positioning System, Internet of Things, and Radio Frequency Identification technology. The company tracks the parcel through the GPS and sends its location to the tracking app.
For instance, currently GPS has a market share of USD119.47 billion in 2024, that is estimated to grow to USD402.423 billion in 2032. This means that parcel tracking can only become more streamlined.
After that, it allows customers to continue receiving real-time updates across all devices where they’ve signed in to the tracking application.
Hence, customers get alerts about their package’s ETA, transit status and ideas about any possible delays.
Since customers can see where their parcel is, they can trust the courier companies more. So, they do not need to worry about their parcels.
Some other benefits are:
• Enhanced security: Courier companies can ensure that their parcels are not re-directed or stolen by anyone since they can view their live location. Additionally, if it is stolen, they can alert the nearby authorities.
• Increased efficiency: Parcel companies can bypass many hurdles like high-delay routes, high-risk routes, etc. by studying the previous travel data and changing routes.
2.Emission-free and self-driven Vehicles
Most companies have begun to use electric or zero emission vehicles to combat rising pollution levels, as seen by the sale of 38,000 trucks in the first half of 2024.
Another important fact to note is that the electric vehicle market is expected to have a value of US44.3 billion by 2030, which indicates the popularity of the same.
Their use of alternative methods has improved our environment’s toxic pollutant levels and reduced our carbon footprint.
Some companies have also begun to use self-driven cars that are equipped with intelligent cameras, sensors and AI programs. These components allow them to use routes with minimal traffic, make timely deliveries and avoid collisions.
The other reasons why parcel delivery organizations also use self-driven vehicles are:• Reduced number of staff
• Increasing employee costs (hiring, payroll, insurance, etc.)
• Steadily rising costs of fuel
• Ability to navigate difficult terrain if needed
• Capacity to avoid collision due to intelligent sensors
• They are more inclusive since differently-abled staff can also use them
3. Robot-operated Sorting Centers
Nowadays, quite a few warehouses have started using robotic arms and machinery to sort through, arrange and deliver parcels. They use a combination of AI and robotics to do so.
Additionally, the use of delivery robots enjoys a market value of US398.6 billion in 2024, that is projected to grow to US3226.1 billion by 2032. You can use these robots to also place parcels in trucks, reducing the need of human effort in the same.
Courier companies use these robotic arms to sort, carry and arrange parcels in neat groups based on factors like their intended destination, order of priority and size.
They enjoy advantages such as:
• Scaling operations
These companies can increase the scale of their operational processes during rush hours, such as, during Christmas, New Year, etc.
They can do so because the robotic arms can move faster, and place parcels in their required destinations more precisely without the element of human error.
• Reduced labor Costs
Courier companies need not worry about hiring extra professionals to manage the workload during high-pressure situations. That’s because the robotic arms can compensate for the absence of people since they can do the work of a team of 3-5 people easily.
4. Online Portals and Mobile Apps
Since almost everyone uses a smartphone nowadays, courier companies have started to develop or have their own mobile apps and websites through which customers can log in, and then track their parcels.
So, new customers have to do the following to keep an eye on their parcels or schedule deliveries:
• Visit the website or download the relevant mobile application
• Create an account
• Specify their delivery choices, such as their preferred parcel delivery timings, alternative mobile phone numbers, etc.
People generally use these portals or mobile applications since they enjoy advantages like address book management, bulk order support, hassle-free package booking process, GPS and Iot-enabled parcel tracking, etc.
For instance, as per a Gartner report from 2019, parcel delivery companies enjoyed an 85% satisfaction rate when they used mobile apps.
They also enjoy additional benefits like being able to view their parcel booking, tracking and delivery history, 24×7 customer support, Invoice management, Chat portal to handle queries etc.
Due to the improved popularity of these applications, parcel companies should certainly think about getting one. This will help them get new customers, and retain old customers.
5. Drones
Quite a few courier companies use drones nowadays. This is evident from the fact that drones for delivery are projected to have a market share of $3.9 billion by 2031.
That’s because people can attach many sensors like geothermal sensors, location-sensing, sensors, along with Global Positioning Systems. So, parcel companies use these devices to deliver packages to their recipients’ doorsteps, rooftops, windows, and specified drop-off points.
Generally, courier companies utilize drones in densely populated spots or remote areas. These organizations enjoy benefits such as zero-emission deliveries, which prevent air pollution. Other benefits include timely deliveries and low operational and maintenance costs.
Additionally, these companies do not need to hire people who will travel to these remote destinations. This will help them establish their own USP as organizations that use drones and boost their market reputation globally.
