Before you disconnect for Thanksgiving, I wanted to share this story...which, unfortunately, isn’t the first of its kind. Reports indicate that $154 million in expenses are tied to small package delivery, accounting for 5% of that line item in their P&L. Companies use shipping for far more than delivering products to end consumers. A wide range of industries, pharma, manufacturing, tech, marketing agencies, and more, rely on shipping to move equipment, materials, and supplies from point A to B. The lack of a centralized system to manage these expenses often leads to costly errors like this. At Airpals, we see similar situations with our customers all the time. That’s why they turn to our platform. Even software companies find that shipping and postage costs add up quickly in their P&L. But what matters most to them is gaining transparency...understanding who is using shipping services, why they’re being used, and avoiding costly mistakes. A hidden cost in these operations is the labor spent coordinating with different carriers and providers. With Airpals, our customers not only centralize their corporate and industrial logistics but also empower their operators to spend less time on shipping and more time on growth-focused tasks. We’ve centralized top carriers such as FedEx®, UPS®, USPS®, and local same-day providers available in 100 cities across the USA. We have an exciting new product in private beta 🤖 🤯 ...stay tuned for updates! https://lnkd.in/eE_BM3fB?
