“Fast is fine but accuracy is everything.” — Wyatt Earp
According to one prominent NFL scout, when asked about evaluating quarterbacks, it’s definitely “accuracy over arm strength.” An NFL coach told ESPN, “functional intelligence, natural decision-making and accuracy” are his top three needs when evaluating college quarterbacks. Both opinions echo the guiding mantra of Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who firmly believes “Quality is determined by accuracy and completeness.”
Clearly accuracy and the ready and confident decision-making it facilitates are just as important in business as they are in sports. Which is why Accuracy is a value fully embraced by MMS Courier. And for good reason. When it comes to transporting important documents, test samples, lab diagnostics, or other mission-critical, life-impacting cargo, accuracy is paramount. At the same time, it is accuracy that makes speed and continuous performance improvement possible.
Following are five measurable benefits accuracy delivers in the overall performance of your courier-related business objectives:
ORDER ENTRY
MMS Courier provides leading edge technology from e-courier that enables you to enter orders from any Internet connected device. That gives you complete control over pick-up and desired delivery completion locations and times.
Moreover, you are notified once the item or items scheduled for delivery are picked-up. You also receive information on routing and estimated time of delivery. Plus, you can monitor progress of the shipment in real-time, so you always know the status of the delivery.
DISPATCH and ROUTING (assignment)
When you schedule a delivery — whether it is an established route or on-demand request — MMS Courier automatically assigns a driver based on proximity, expertise, availability, and the ability to complete the delivery according to your specific requirements.
The MMS Courier dispatch team is also well prepared for manually assigning and routing delivery when circumstances require it.
IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY
In the past, evaluating and continuously improving your courier service was difficult if not near impossible. Those days are gone. MMS Courier provides complete visibility relative to all messenger activity, providing you and your team with end-to-end insights into supply and value chain operations.
This level of accuracy means you can track business and operational metrics using a complete suite of reports. Customizable KPI dashboards allow you to analyze and share critical information when and where you need it, giving you the power to recognize potential issues before they impact operations. As a result, operations are streamlined across tracking orders, validating invoices, and managing your courier service budget.
COMPLIANCE SUPPORT
Ensuring regulatory compliance is paramount for any business, especially yours. Managing all courier and messenger operations in one place with one application gives you greater transparency and control over adherence to all policies and procedures.
By securing and maintaining the highest quality data integrity your organization minimizes and avoids potential pitfalls while establishing precise record keeping practices.
IMPROVED DECISION-MAKING
Accuracy and decision-making are interdependent functions. Current, accurate, and reliable data sources help you make well-informed, confident decisions without hesitation. At the same time, accounting for courier and messenger expenditures and budget and resource allocation planning are greatly enhanced when data supports your assessments and conclusions.
The MMS customized e-courier application provides you with complete visibility and control over all transactions and account activity. As a result, you always know the cost, expected pick–up and delivery times, and whereabouts of your precious cargo. Plus, you have a digitized record of all shipments over time — an invaluable asset when reporting, forecasting, and budgeting for annual business plans. So now you can have both speed and accuracy when it comes to managing your courier program.
