Mitigating Carrier Capacity Issues This Holiday Season
We are now on the cusp of the holiday season, and one of the many things that retailers have to think about is carrier capacity. Carrier capacity in logistics refers to the amount of cargo that a carrier can handle in a specific time frame. Furniture shippers must understand their carrier's capacity because it helps with the smooth functioning of supply chains, timely delivery of furniture to customers, and overall customer satisfaction.
Let's talk about mitigating the risks associated with carrying capacity issues. It is essential that retailers, especially furniture retailers, manage the risks that come with carrier capacity.
Partnering with a shipping partner like Freight Club gives you the power to:
Integrate with a platform that gives you access to multiple top-rated carriers that offer different delivery services.
Choose from multiple carriers based on their shipping speed, cost, or damage rates.
Continuously monitor a carrier's performance and stay informed about their capacity levels, allowing you to switch between carriers to minimize delivery risks.
Accessing multiple carriers gives retailers the opportunity to offer diverse service options. They are also able to manage their shipping cost through rate comparisons and eliminate the reliance on a single carrier. It is also important to note that diversifying your carrier options is an excellent way to expand your shipping options for your customers.
This holiday season, optimize your inventory management system and ensure you have sufficient personnel to handle increased customer demand. Enhance resilience to carrier issues and maintain a reliable supply chain by proactively planning. Have the flexibility to choose between carriers, mitigating risks associated with capacity constraints.
