5 Ways to Increase Profitability through Delivery Route Efficiency

Managing the costs of delivering pharmaceutical goods directly affects the profitability of your company. A good route efficiency solution should offer the following features and benefits:

  • Inventory Tracking — With the ability to track delivered, returned, refused, and damaged inventory, you can quickly resolve customer disputes.
  • Receipt Printing — With a mobile printer, you can print a receipt on the spot for the customer to keep for his or her records. The receipt can have the transaction information and the customer’s signature (if electronic signature capture is available), which also helps reduce customer disputes about delivery.
  • Invoice Creation and Editing — Being able to write up an invoice and even collect payments in the field can reduce the amount of time between delivery and payment.
  • Inventory Data Analysis — Knowing what products are selling and how often (and at what locations) enables you to keep your customers satisfied by always having the products they need in stock.
  • Advanced Reporting — Reports detailing the times between deliveries and inventory status (delivered, returned, refused, or damaged) can help you plan more efficient routes.

Pharmaceutical delivery companies with both large and small fleets can greatly improve route efficiency and overall profits by incorporating route accounting software into their fleet management systems.
