Can your shipping process be more cost-effective?

Identify weak points

To enhance your parcel shipping process, you must first identify areas that can be improved.
Begin by mapping your current process, then follow the 7 steps.

  1. What parts of the parcel shipping process would benefit from change?
  2. Are there any activities that are unnecessary?
  3. Are there other methods that are more cost-effective, e.g. can activities be automated?
  4. Determine the change you want to make.
  5. Test your idea for weaknesses. Can you identify any drawbacks to the change?
  6. How will the change affect other parts of your business?
  7. The final step is to test. If the test is successful, then implement the change.
