“Logistics can let
companies down and therefore being able to call on the reliable services of a
third-party, and one that understands the need for a fast, trustworthy delivery
is crucial, particularly in a city where, whether online or offline, goods need
to move quickly. Customer tracking and a real-time fleet tracking system are
essential elements of this service too.”
