It’s is a critical part for logistical companies and manufacturers to choose a right order tracking system and delivery platform. Any idea how it’s related to customer satisfaction? It seems more customers have been lost due to the inefficient way of delivery management.

But what is a delivery tracking system? And why it’s important?

An delivery tracking system is one that tracks goods from the moment the order is placed to when they are physically delivered to the destination location. Different systems deliver different benefits, but broadly some of the perks you can expect from order tracking are a perception of professionalism, cost efficiency, and additional benefits for customers and suppliers.

These are the few questions that you may be fed up answering in your logistical business.

• Has my order been filled?
• Are any items missing?
• Has my order been picked up for delivery?
• Where is the order right now?
• When will it be delivered?

Respond to these queries is quite complicated as you need to be involved in multiple process and systems. Here comes the use of order tracking system where,  customers and suppliers can check themselves where their order is, your business will be perceived as transparent, trustworthy and professional. And order tracking is a win-win situation for suppliers and customers, as they will also benefit from knowing where their goods are in the process for the same reasons you will. Creating such a win-win situation is more likely to lead to repeat business in the future.

Finally when ordering from suppliers, an order tracking system can be integrated with inventory and stock control systems – ensuring you know exactly what you have at all times and only order what you need.

What is last mile delivery?

In a product’s journey from warehouse shelf to customer doorstep, the “last mile” of delivery is the final step of the process — the point at which the package finally arrives at the buyer’s door.

Barter Exchange Network

What does an online barter system really means? This denotes the improved way of exchanging goods using online methods. Bartering is growing in popularity today with consumers and businesses realizing that it’s a great way to budget and a creative way to lower expenses. It certainly isn’t something new; bartering has been around for a very long time. It’s the way our ancestors conducted their daily business and how they survived.

Bartering is an economical and clever way to save money. We didn’t really have a choice but to barter when we were children, we didn’t have the money to buy new things all the time. Children certainly have a way of figuring things out when they want something badly enough. So why does this stop when we become adults? We still have wants and needs but seem to set them aside or continue to spend money when we really don’t have to.

By educating ourselves on the right way to barter, we open ourselves up to many resources and possibilities. It’s a way of taking care of our needs and at the same time, someone else’s without spending money. This is done simply by offering our professional services or items we no longer need, in return for what we do.

Don’t you think of the possibilities of an online barter system to be more effective in the near future?

Let’s have a look at the major pros on bartering:

• Flexibility
  Bartering system provides greater flexibility for the products involved. You can trade one related product for another, such as a laptop for a portable tablet, or two completely different items, like a television for a lawnmower.

• Possibilities for saving money
  Barter offers the clear advantage of saving money. Not only do you get something you need or want, but neither party has to spend a cent.

• Simple system
  The process offers a simple system free from the complex problems of the modern monetary system. Hence making the trade quite easier.
• No wastage or Payment error occur
  The problems of international trade, like foreign exchange crisis and adverse balance of payments, do not exist in the barter system. Personal and natural resources are perfectly utilized to meet the requirements of society without involving any wastage.

There were no acceptable means of payment for the direct purchase of goods and services in the barter economy. In other words, in a pure barter system, there was no generally acceptable medium of exchange in the form of a particular good or asset which could be used to buy goods and services and do other types of transactions.

Hence some challenges or difficulties faced in barter system are,

1. Double Coincidence of Wants:
   Owing to lack of generally acceptable medium of exchange, a difficult problem of double coincidence of wants was faced by the persons who wanted to sell and buy goods. For exchange of goods persons desiring to exchange goods must specifically want those goods what others offer in exchange. Thus, an individual who wants to have a good he must locate another person who offers to give up the good wanted by him and who is willing to accept in ex­change the good offered by him. Thus, under the barter system only when wants for buying and selling goods of different persons coincided the exchange of goods as possible. A good deal of time was spent by a person is searching for a man with whom wants to coincide.

2. Lack of a Standard Unit of Account:
   A barter economy lacked not only a common medium of exchange but also a standard unit of account in which prices could be measured and quoted. In the absence of a common unit of account, the number of exchange ratios (that is, prices of goods ex­pressed in terms of each other) between goods would be very large. Thus, lack of a standard unit of account with which to measure values of different goods and services made exchange or trade difficult.

3. The impossibility of Subdivision of Goods:
   Another problem faced under the barter system for the exchange of goods was the impossibility of subdivision of goods without loss of their value. For instance, if a person has a cow and wants to have 5 kg of wheat, obviously, it is too costly to give one cow for 5 kg of wheat he requires.
   Then, to do this transaction cow has to be divided. But the cow cannot be divided or cut into pieces because the cow will lose much of its value if it is divided. Thus, the impossibility of division of goods for the purpose of exchange posed a great difficulty and obstructed the growth of trade.

4. Lack of Information:
   Another problem found in the barter system was that in it traders re­quired a good deal of information for exchange of goods. Thus, if there exists a medium of exchange, with well-known characteristics, it will reduce the information costs of trading. Without the medium of exchange, information cost will indeed be very large.

5. Production of Large and Very Costly Goods not Feasible:
   Another problem of barter economy relates to the production of large, costly goods. Suppose an individual who has technical skill and equipment to manufacture a car will not have much incentive to manufacture it in the barter economy.
   This is because he can exchange a car with a person who has enough goods having a value equal to a car so that their exchange with a car can take place. The carmaker must obtain food, clothing and several other commodities of day-to-day consumption in exchange for a car. It will be very difficult, almost impossible to find a prospective buyer who has enough of these goods and services to give in return for a car.

It is evident from above that the barter system could work in a primitive economy where life was simple and the man was self-sufficient. As the man made some economic progress, the division of labor or specialization and large-scale production came to exist, the barter system could not fulfill the increasing needs for the exchange of goods.

What about considering a mixed model for solving the difficulties mentioned above. Let’s check a software that contains all features and functionality necessary for you to launch a professional barter exchange network website.

After all, delivering a product reduces waste and cost for customers.

The on-demand food delivery services are growing rapidly in the day today market and prove itself to be more effective to the customers. In a similar way, on-demand food delivery service jobs allow individuals to set their own hours, work at their own pace and make a living as an independent contractor. The modern consumer is less likely to cook and more likely to order their favorites from nearby restaurants while staying home.

Initially, the current focus on convenience has created strong demand for web-based and mobile on-demand food delivery services. Customers are shifting from traditional phone-based ordering services to online platforms that allow them to order a wide range of cuisines from many restaurants all within one app or website. These on-demand delivery services also offer ratings and reviews of restaurants and allow customers to pay with a single tap on their smartphones and tablets. But while these food startups have attracted a great deal of attention from users and investors and have high valuations.

Considering the changes that took place in every other sector, the rise of digital technologies also changes the food market rapidly. Modern customers, accustomed to shopping online via mobile apps and websites with maximum convenience and minimum human interaction, now expect a similar experience when ordering meals. Restaurants that provide their own takeout services have to catch up with the times by offering mobile food ordering options just to retain customers. Let’s have a look at some popular on-demand services. 

GrubHub:
Grubhub Inc. is an online and mobile food-ordering company that connects diners with local restaurants. Based in Chicago, the company has more than 14 million active diners and approximately 80,000 restaurant partners in over 1,600 cities across the United States and the United Kingdom.

Further facilities offered by GrubHub include:

• orders are supported by the company’s 24/7 customer service teams
• GrubHub portfolio of brands includes GrubHub, Seamless, Eat24, AllMenus, and MenuPages.
• The food is placed in a branded, insulated bag and sent with the delivery executives.
• GrubHub’s proprietary technology allows restaurants and customers to track the estimated delivery time for a meal.
• Drivers can elect to schedule themselves in “blocks” of time.
• This is essentially a guarantee that of the driver’s availability to pick up and deliver orders. Drivers may pick up and drop blocks as they see fit, based on their program level.

UberEATS:
Uber Eats is an American online food ordering and delivery platform launched by Uber in 2014 and based in San Francisco, California. Users can order food from participating restaurants on their website or with a smartphone/tablet application.

Let’s have a look at how Ubereats promotes their business.

• Orders are prepaid and pre-made well before a driver arrives.
• lets customers place an order through the app to be picked up by a driver.
• It relies on the restaurant’s attempt to guarantee that customers receive freshly prepared food at the appropriate temperature.
• Sometimes, the driver might be forced to wait while a meal is prepared.
• Ubereats also uses a “closed-bag” model.
• Orders are not opened or inspected by drivers; meals are handed from the restaurant to the driver, then from the driver to the customer.

Doordash:
DoorDash is one of several technology companies that use logistics services to offer food delivery from restaurants on-demand. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, the company really realms in the food delivery business.
