Increased Efficiencies and Decreased Delivery Times
Due to the unique 3-word addresses that what3words has assigned to every 3m square in the world, last-mile delivery providers such as Flashbox are more efficient. This technology provides their drivers with access to delivery addresses quickly and accurately, decreasing delivery times for complete customer satisfaction.
Package delivery routes consist of two primary elements:
- The driving portion from the pick-up to parking
- The walking portion from parking to direct customer delivery
This latter distance can play a considerable role in the efficiency and speed of the entire delivery experience. As a whole, these two elements can be made more efficient by using clear and accurate predefined addresses and parking positions to guide drivers as close as possible to the final delivery destination.
The what3words software provides FlashBox’s drivers with this information, ensuring their drivers’ park strategically and reducing their walking distances and overall delivery times. Additionally, with highly accurate location data, more first-time deliveries are successful.
Recent test results show that by using what3words technology, drivers can gain approximately 15% efficiency by ending their delivery routes more than 30 minutes earlier than drivers using a traditional navigation system.
Accurate Delivery Times
By leveraging what3words technology, FlashBox’s last-mile delivery services can more easily predict delivery times and provide customers with accurate ETAs. This detailed and precise service increases customer satisfaction, reduces package theft and ultimately boosts your business reputation.
