As you might know already, Quiqdash is our product that connects retailers of any size to our fleet of drivers — our Quiqees — so you can start offering a range of convenient delivery options to your customers and differentiate your business from your competitors (in case you’ve never seen it, check this video).

We’ve written before on why having flexible deliveries is so important to SMEs.

As a retailer looking to kickstart deliveries, you need a reliable partner who can provide you with flexible logistics services — and help you drive down costs.

In this post, we want to introduce you to a new Quiqdash feature — multi-drop , and how that can further save you both time and money.

What is multi-drop?

Let’s say you’re fashion retailer needing to deliver to multiple customers in four different locations. You could do this by requesting four different Quiqees for each drop, and pay four different fixed fees per job as well as a fee determined by the distance travelled each time.

When you use multi-drop, you use only one Quiqee to deliver to multiple locations, and you pay a small drop-off fee for every stop on top of a distanced-based delivery charge.

By dividing the cost between all four drops, the cost per delivery becomes significantly lower.

How multi-drop can help you?

  • Save money — By spreading the delivery costs over multiple drops, you reduce the cost of each delivery and elevate the profits from each item sold (our data shows you can save up to 50%).
  • Save time — Instead of requesting a new Quiqee for each order — and waiting each time for your driver to arrive — simply stack up the orders and deliver them all in one go. Only communicate with one driver and give one set of instructions. Smooth and easy.

How does it work?

The process is the same as usual! Simply go onto the Quiqdash app, select the multi-drop option, enter the delivery info and a Quiqee will come with the preferred mean to pick everything up and drop them off individually.

You can still track all the orders in real-time, drop by drop! So if your customers give you a call, you can tell them how far away their packages are.

Just in case you forgot, there are no upfront costs to join Quiqdash, and zero subscription fees — you only pay for the deliveries you use.

Quiqdash already allows your business to provide a premium delivery service, driving revenues, customers loyalty and retention.

Multi-drop is a new feature that allows your business to further maximise these benefits, saving more money and make delivery operations easier.

Get the most value out of your delivery operation by using Quiqdash’s multi-drop, and propel your business into the age of digitised convenience.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to pop over a message.
