Dispatch Introduces Connect to Tackle the Hidden Costs of Fleet Ownership

BLOOMINGTON, MN - Dispatch, a leading company in the last-mile delivery sector, has brought to light the obscured financial and logistical challenges inherent in managing an in-house delivery fleet. The company revealed the significant upfront costs businesses face, including the procurement of vehicles, insurance, and licensing, with an estimated initial outlay of $225,000 for five vehicles alone, excluding the cost of hiring drivers. Furthermore, operating a single truck can cost an estimated $210,000 annually, as per FreightWaves.

In an innovative move, Dispatch has launched Connect, a delivery management solution aimed at addressing the burdensome costs of fleet ownership. Connect offers a Delivery as a Service (DaaS) model, enabling businesses to oversee their delivery operations through a singular platform. By utilizing state-of-the-art route optimization technology and predictive analytics, Connect promises to streamline the delivery process, reducing both costs and time dedicated to daily logistics management. The system is designed to support overflow orders by leveraging a national network of independent contractor drivers and courier partners, hence optimizing existing fleet operations.

Andrew Leone, CEO and Co-Founder of Dispatch, emphasized the vital need for businesses to recognize the true cost implications of internal delivery solutions. With the introduction of Dispatch Connect, the company aims to provide an impactful alternative that counters these challenges, thus fostering business growth in a competitive market.
