HOW WE WORK

Steps Integrated into Our Process

Planning
We begin the our Cycle of Service process by understanding our customer’s unique requirements, then developing a customized plan with requirements for technology, locations, communication, product handling, vehicle type, equipment, driver, setup, delivery, signatures, documentation and any other necessary requirements.
Estimates
Before you commit to new routes or services, we provide timely estimates based on data and your individual company needs.
Updates
Our Cycle of Service brings technology and the human touch to customer service. We offer a detailed dashboard with real-time and historic data of what is happening across all areas of your business, viewable on a smartphone or tablet. All phases of your business can be integrated, including on-demand, routed and scheduled work, distribution and cross docking operations, as well as FTL and LTL delivery. Meanwhile, you always have a dedicated account manager who knows your business and is available to talk.
Track & Trace
Our process includes strategic technology investments that help us reduce errors and costs, while improving information flow, visibility and speed. This gives our account managers and customers increased, live visibility of time sensitive information, enabling necessary adjustments to be made before there is an issue.
Alerts
Real-time alerts are built into the system to notify customers automatically minutes before arrival and be used to flag issues in a timely manner, if desired. Your personal account manager is also overseeing deliveries, and will get in touch if needed.
Barcoding, Scanning, Electronic Signatures
We have invested in the best technology for transportation management, Xcelerator, for electronic signature capture, optimization, barcoding / scanning, tracking, and GPS.
Accounting & Reporting
Our Cycle of Service features technology with built-in accounting and customizable reports, including a mobile reporting app, so you can have the information you need when you need it.
Efficiency Reviews & Strategy
The technologies integrated into our Cycle of Service enable (and enforce) process compliance. We also work with our customers to develop key performance indicators (KPIs) that help us objectively measure performance. Because we believe that you can’t manage what you can’t measure, we leverage KPIs to help us drive continuous improvement. Additionally, we use the Cheetah Logistics Route Optimization Platform to streamline complex business to customer solutions representing all real-world constraints: from first mile through last mile. It dynamically improves route networks.
