You need On-demand, HotShot or Stat deliveries, we have you covered. These are typically point to point dedicated deliveries with a minimum stop charge and mileage charge for distance.
We understand the criticality of time when it comes to these deliveries and Service levels are closely monitored from pick up and delivery time window compliance.
On Demand:
- This is the broadest term, simply meaning the delivery is requested and completed immediately, according to the customer’s request.
- There may be different tiers of on-demand service with varying delivery timeframes (e.g., within 1 hour, within 2 hours), but the focus is on fulfilling the request with minimal delay.
- This term may also be used to describe flexible booking systems where customers can schedule their delivery at any time, even on the same day.
Hotshot:
- This term usually implies a higher priority delivery, often involving critical or time-sensitive goods.
- It may involve dedicated vehicles (e.g., motorcycles, vans) that can navigate traffic quickly and prioritize the specific delivery over other jobs.
- Expect premium pricing for hotshot services due to the expedited nature and potentially specialized resources used.
Stat Work:
- This is a slang term, often used in specific industries, that essentially means “as soon as possible”.
- It emphasizes the urgency of the delivery and the need for immediate dispatch and completion.
- Similar to hotshot, stat work may involve dedicated resources and premium pricing due to the high priority.
