Redirecting deliveries to PUDOs improves last-yard delivery efficiency and convenience. Mentioned below are some of the ways PUDOs boost last-mile and last-yard efficiency.
No Waiting Time
Consumers nowadays hate to wait for their deliveries and every missed delivery results in customer loss. With pick-up and drop-off (PUDO), customers can pick-up their items conveniently at their preferred time slots. It reduces the waiting time to zero and eliminates the risk of a missed delivery.
Higher Flexibility and Convenience
Pandemic has changed customer expectations considerably. They demand various fulfillment options, a safe shopping experience, and high delivery efficiency. Therefore, retailers must enhance flexibility in their supply chain and meet the varying consumer demands. PUDOs help customers retrieve or return parcels at their convenience.
Safe and Secure Package Storage
The customer's experience in last-yard delivery is determined by safe and secure package storage. Leaving the package outside the recipient's door when they are not available is not safe and can lead to parcel theft. PUDO ensures a safe location for package storage.
Simplified Reverse Logistics
Reverse logistics management for huge delivery volumes makes last-yard logistics ineffective. As the number of missed deliveries increases, the reverse logistics cost increases. With the PUDO network, customers get an option to return the item to the seller, which reduces the reverse logistics cost and provides free return services. In this way, you can simplify your reverse logistics operations.
