Warehouse operations thrive on routine. Predictable actions using processes that are easily repeated keep inventory moving and customers happy. And they get it all done using full and partial truckloads, parcel carriers, couriers and their own delivery vehicles. 

But some scenarios don’t fit easily into normal routes or schedules. These daily headaches include urgent, same-day deliveries; items that miss the daily truck; and large, bulky goods that are hard to package. Sometimes drivers are in short supply, or the customer has a sudden spike in product demand and needs to restock immediately.

Warehouse operators are now integrating crowdsourced delivery companies to eliminate time-wasting, expensive work-arounds for getting orders to customers quickly. In this playbook, learn how to make crowdsourced delivery work for your warehouse, including:

• Setting up processes for delivering items that don’t fit typical lanes and schedules. 
• Offering insights into inventory for best-fit fulfillment location and transportation mode.
• Measuring success.
