Why Specialized Courier Services Are Crucial for Industry-Specific Needs?

It is easy to think of all courier companies as offering the same types of courier service, yet nothing could be further from the truth. Read on to discover why Distribusha stands out as courier company that is perfectly suited for those with industry-specific needs. 

Why industry-specific logistics require more than just standard courier services 

Having been in the courier service industry for more than just a few years, here at Distribusha we have come to realise that there is plenty of room in the market for a variety of courier services. We also understand that in such a competitive sector of the industry as parcel delivery, often companies are reduced to employing staff on zero-hours contracts and who have to provide their own transport, often a beaten-up old van. For well wrapped packages that is not a problem, but when it comes to delivering valuable and fragile technical equipment, and equipment that has to be delivered, say, the same day, then a specialised courier service is what is required. 

In addition, often goods for collection and delivery are on pallets or are too heavy for a single driver to collect and deliver. More to the point, you probably need a tail lift on the truck to get the items safely and securely on board. Beyond that, as we have discovered at Distribusha, it also helps if you have skilled and trained technicians delivering certain equipment that also requires installing and the removal of the old, original equipment. Try asking your local parcel courier to help and they will likely struggle. 

Another advantage of specialised courier services is that employees have invariably been with the company for many years and during that time they have gained so much invaluable experience. That is very much the case here at Distribusha and in addition, we look to recycle old equipment and also any packaging materials that goods are securely encased within. 

How secure courier services protect sensitive and high-value shipments 

Specialised courier services are just that. Specialised. That means, where Distribusha is concerned, that we specialise in delivering critical products and equipment, much of it of high value and extremely fragile. So, what do we add to the mix that means you can trust us as a specialised courier service? 

To begin with, as mentioned, we have experienced staff, and they are good staff who have worked with us for many, many years. These staff are vital as they have learned how to install a wide variety of technical equipment as often we are asked not just to collect and deliver technical equipment, especially of a medical nature, but to also remove the original equipment and make sure the replacement has been correctly installed and is fully operational. Even before the delivery takes place, we make sure that the right vehicle has been chosen for the collection and delivery, whether or not it needs a tailgate lift as previously mentioned, and of critical importance, that enough team members have been allocated to the task at hand as we deliver goods up to 100kg in weight. 

Our team of couriers are also sufficiently experienced that if they do not feel items to be delivered have been wrapped correctly, they will ask for this to be fixed in order to make sure they arrive at their destination in one piece. 

The Role of Specialized Courier Services in different Industries 

There are several individual sectors of the courier service industry that Distribusha is very experienced in: 

• Medical courier services – providing delivery of medical equipment, beds, gas bottles etc., primarily to residential locations
• Exhibition and event courier services – as we know all the major exhibition venues, we know how to get in and out with the minimum of fuss and bother
• Technical couriers – for the delivery of not just medical- abut also business-related equipment
• Aviation industry couriers – the MRO section of the aviation industry relies heavily on courier services for the collection and delivery of aircraft, parts, especially at a time when the industry is plagued by supply chain problems, as the cost to an airline of an aircraft being out of action for one extra day is astronomical
• Legal and financial industry courier services – on many occasions there is a need for same day courier delivery services, and at Distribusha we have an excellent reputation of ensuring that time-sensitive documents are always delivered on time.
• Construction industry courier services – this may surprise you, but we are frequently called in to help in the construction industry, either to deliver site plans from an architect where modifications to plans have bene holding up building work, or to deliver an urgent part for a critical machine that has broken down on site.

Why is choosing the right specialized courier service for your business crucial
