Help Your Small Business Grow: Outsource Delivery
Outsourcing to a same-day courier service in Cincinnati can help improve productivity, reduce your overhead and keep employees focused on serving customers.
Productivity and revenue
Keeping employees focused on higher performance areas, such as marketing and sales, can boost your company’s revenue.
With Redkey handling small or large package delivery, your employees can focus on revenue-producing activities. Taking delivery off their plates will also allow them spend time researching how to build a competitive edge in your industry.
Efficiency and cost
As with other tasks not central to your business’s core competencies, outsourcing delivery can actually cut costs. Because all we do is delivery, we are more efficient than small business employees who might wear a number of hats. Our drivers know the streets of Cincinnati, know where the construction is, and tricks for working around congested traffic.
We keep our vehicles in top form, and state-of-the-art route optimization keeps each trip as short as possible. Each delivery takes us less time and fuel, helping the environment and reducing vehicle wear and tear.
Small businesses that outsource delivery also cut costs by not having to maintain delivery vehicles (which incur fuel, maintenance and insurance costs).
About 90% of small businesses in 2022 outsourced their shipping and deliveries for two reasons:
- Labor costs account for 70% of a business’s spending; by outsourcing delivery, those costs drop to 52%, according to Forbes.
- Inventory accounts for 17-25% of a business’s costs. Businesses not shipping quickly after a sale spend more to store inventory.
More than half of all small businesses saw a 27% improvement in supply chain efficiency after outsourcing shipping and logistics.
Time
With Redkey as your logistics partner, employees will save time normally spent packaging products, transferring inventory and making deliveries. They will have more energy to delight customers.
Expertise
Professional drivers know how to deliver on time, with the goods they are carrying intact. They are evaluated on how many deliveries than can complete in a day. Each Redkey driver is certified, wears a uniform and is friendly and helpful to their delivery recipients. They have received extensive safety training and take refresher courses every year.
Technology
We are constantly upgrading our route optimization software and real-time tracking technology. Your customer can know where their package is at every step in the journey. In the rare case of a delay, they (and you) will know as soon as we do.
Customer Service
Redkey is “small enough to listen and big enough to deliver.” We use live dispatchers 24/7 ready to arrange your delivery.
If you ever have a concern before, during or after a delivery, the person who picks up the phone at Redkey will be able to address your problem without wasting time going up the chain of authority.
We offer a wide range of services, including scheduled and routed deliveries to keep repeat trips more cost-efficient. You can even have the same driver deliver for you every time with our dedicated services option. The truck can even be branded with your logo.
The Right Vehicle for Your Delivery
We have a large fleet of vehicles, including
- sedans,
- cargo vans,
- box trucks with lift gates,
- stake beds
- flat bed and
- curtainside box trucks
We transport everything from a letter to a 25,000 pound load of industrial machinery–including fragile items, perishables, hazardous materials and temperature-sensitive cargo.
When you book your service, the knowledgeable dispatcher will help you select the smallest vehicle that can handle the shipment. They will also tell you about various options for saving money, such as sharing a truck when speed is not critical.
