The Benefits of Technology in Logistics

  1. Improved workflow and faster delivery  

Businesses can automate routine tasks, streamline operations and eliminate manual processes. Sounds amazing right? Using advanced technology or automated pick and packing systems in warehouses can save a significant amount of time and reduces human error. This ultimately leads to faster fulfilment times, improving productivity.  At Lesters, we’ve delivered over 1 million parcels across the UK, improving efficiency, reducing both handling times but also improving delivery accuracy rates. 

2. Real-Time Tracking 

With modern logistics technology, businesses can track shipments in real-time, providing full visibility in their supply chain. This means that businesses can keep customers informed about their orders, respond to delays quicker and manage their inventory more efficiently.  

3. Saves Money and Resources 

By using advanced technology to improve routes, reduce unnecessary movements, logistic companies can lower operational costs. This makes businesses more accessible for businesses of all sizes. Customers are also considering their carbon footprint when choosing delivery options, so this in turn, saves more resources. 

4. Consistently Keep Customers Happy  

With automated systems and easier processes and integrations, customers can experience and smooth, quick and reliable deliveries. This creates a seamless experience for both the customer and the client.  

5. Collect data to improve processes  

Another benefit of logistics technology is the ability to collect and analyse a large amount of data. Businesses can use this data to make smarter, more informed decisions. At Lesters Logistics, we use data to continuously improve our processes and ensure that we are providing the most efficient service possible.
