As we mentioned at the beginning of the year, a huge number of hauliers were going into administration. Almost a full year later, nothing seems to have changed and, if anything, we believe that the financial pressures on the logistics industry are not going to diminish in 2025 - especially with the added onus of the employer NI contribution increase made in the recent budget. Furthermore, environmental sustainability concerns still need to be factored in, especially with the UK being one of the major economies to attend COP 2029, so Net Zero is still a UK KPI target, though maybe not as immediate a one as before.
As we stated in 2022, 2023 and yet again in 2024, sensible freight operators will utilise a SaaS-based* transport management system (TMS) to remove all the headaches of transparency, control, reporting (including ESR), and security, while still delivering on their customer promise. To see for yourself how a SaaS TMS such as CarrierNet can help you business, contact Bashir Khan right here.
*SaaS is the acronym for ‘Software as a Service’. Essentially, it is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It’s actually a software rental model, sometimes referred to as “on-demand software”. SaaS was made possible by the development of broadband/high-speed internet over the past 20 years or so. Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Photoshop are two typical SaaS products. In fact, Deltion’s own award-winning CarrierNet was the first internet-based logistics solution and has been recognised internationally as the leading web-based application for supply chain, logistics and transport management.
