Organising your multi drop route this Christmas

When it comes to multi drop driving roles, efficiency and timing is key to keeping customers happy. Especially at Christmas! Therefore, it’s vital that the route of the delivery driver is well managed and planned.

These days there are a number of software options companies can use to streamline their processes. It’s worth investing in these; with multiple vehicles tasked with multiple drops, rerouting and rescheduling technology can make a huge difference to cost and efficiency.

Routing software can plan the best routes for drivers, ensuring that travel times, distances and fuel costs are kept to an absolute minimum. Each journey may only save the organisation a few pennies, but over years this can make a significant difference to profits.

Another plus point with routing software is the communication. Today’s customer is demanding; eCommerce has meant that customers expect good communication and an excellent service every time. Routing software has the capability of keeping your customer in the loop about their delivery at all times.

So why don’t you invest and make your multi drops efficient this Christmas?

How can you find your ideal job in 2022?

So it’s nearly here! It’s almost 2022 and some will be using the time between Christmas and New Year for updating their CV ahead of a brand new job search for the New Year – if you haven’t started about your job search for the new year already! So how can you make sure you find your ideal job in 2022?

Get motivated! It’s time to decide where your passion lies when it comes to work. Aim high; now’s the time to make a fresh start, so make it count and decide what type of job you want for 2022 – and beyond!

Is it really all about the money? If you can, try not to make money your main motivator in 2022. By focussing purely on the salary you’re after, you may miss an opportunity that’s just right for you, or worse still, end up in a role that makes you unhappy.

Get networking. It’s time to make contact again with recruiters (like yours truly!) to find out about market trends and to be kept up to date with new opportunities. Think about contacting people and making new connections via social media too.

Be brave! Looking for a new job can be a big step and it can be a difficult decision, so think carefully, and take a leap of faith when you’re sure. It’s just the beginning of an exciting new adventure!
