How Metrobi is Helping (with efficiency)
We are operating 24/7 to keep the supply chain lines open and deliver the essential services to the people that need them. A few examples of how we are helping
- One of our partners created delivery routes for Tuesdays and Thursdays and is messaging that to all their customers. Grouping orders makes them more efficient and decreases delivery cost per order.
- Another partner serves a big geography and has split up their area into 5 sections. They proactively message to customers that they are delivering to their area on a certain day of the week.
If you are in need of any support, please call us at 617 433-7165 or email us at deliver@metrobi.com
