Managing the rush
Every year we see the same thing, a sudden surge in booking shipments as the big day gets closer. Finding a reliable haulier at the drop of a hat can be challenging. This is why it’s important to choose a logistics partner with an extensive and vetted network so that we find you the right solution with the right haulier.
Meeting customer expectations
During Christmas, timely deliveries are crucial for customer satisfaction and a company’s image. The key to avoiding a disappointing logistics experience is selecting a reliable partner with a trusted network. We provide dependable shipping options, like express and same-day delivery, thanks to strong supplier relationships. Our diverse solutions, like Aviate (air freight), ensure that if you need a swift delivery from a distant location, we can provide it.
Cost efficiency
While it’s essential to meet demand during the holiday season, it’s equally vital to manage costs effectively. Planning helps strike the right balance.
Our Operations Team’s expertise ensures efficient routing, saving you money by choosing the best service lane through our established connections and rates.
Handling seasonal surprises
During the holiday season, unexpected demand surges, delays, and weather disruptions can occur. Our team’s extensive industry experience is crucial for effective contingency planning. Swift adaptation to issues like rerouting due to weather and real-time shipment monitoring is essential for a successful Christmas period.
Jari, Baxter Freight’s Santa
The planning for the festive period starts very early in the year to ensure timely Christmas deliveries and a delightful customer experience.
Heading up the effort is our Operations Director, Jari, who ensures that Christmas trees reach homes across the UK in time for the holiday.
Christmas trees hold a special place in our hearts, symbolizing joy, tradition, and togetherness. Our team works closely with tree distributors, and Jari oversees the trees’ journey across the UK and Europe.
Planning for these deliveries starts as early as October, with over 100,000 trees successfully delivered last year across Denmark, Belgium, France, and the UK.
So, in conclusion, planning for Christmas is not just about hanging up stockings and trimming the tree; it’s about ensuring that businesses can thrive during this busy season. A logistics company can be your greatest asset in achieving this. By partnering with a reliable logistics provider, you can streamline operations, reduce costs, meet customer expectations, and navigate the holiday rush with confidence.
So, as the holiday season approaches, remember that the key to a successful and stress-free Christmas lies in meticulous planning and the right logistics partner by your side.
