Alternative solutions to building your own fleet
Before diving into what Metrobi offers for B2B companies, let’s clarify what one should expect from a delivery fleet.
Reliability
The most important feature of a delivery fleet is reliability. You need to deliver on time, always, to maintain your reputation. To achieve this, you need to build your delivery team of reliable and professional people who respect their duties and pay attention to their schedules.
Professionalism
Your team needs to look and act professionally when they visit customers. This is very important because they are the faces of your business when they are with the customers, and the impression they make on your customer will cause your business to grow or fail.
Efficiency
The final key feature of a strong delivery fleet is efficiency. I’ve learned that delivering quickly without wasting time or driving unnecessary miles is essential.
I also ask myself whether everyone on the delivery team is working equally or if some people are overloaded while others sit idle. When tasks aren’t balanced, it’s a clear sign that work efficiency is slipping. The same goes for vehicle loads—overloading can damage your vehicles and slow you down.
To keep your operations running smoothly, it’s important to review how your team works and make sure both people and vehicles are being used effectively.
