Courier & same-day delivery

24/7 call answering for courier and same-day delivery firms

Same-day work is won by whoever picks up first. When a customer needs a job collected in the next hour they ring three couriers and book the one who answers, so a call that rolls to voicemail is not a delayed booking, it is a booking that went to a competitor.

Hear it handle a call

When the calls actually go missing

  • The controller is on the radio to a driver and the second line rings out
  • Between 5pm and 8am, when a surprising share of urgent same-day bookings land
  • Saturday collections, when the office is closed but the customer's deadline is not
  • During a spike, when one incident on the network generates forty chase calls at once

What the agent handles

  • Taking a same-day booking: collection and delivery postcodes, item, weight, deadline
  • Quoting from your own rate card, or capturing the job and flagging it for a price
  • POD and 'where is my driver' chases, answered without pulling your controller off the radio
  • Out-of-hours bookings held and released to your team the moment the depot opens

What one missed call costs

A single same-day job is typically worth more than a week of answering-service cost, and the customer who books it once tends to keep ringing the same number.

Courier & same-day delivery: common questions

Can it quote a same-day job on the call?
Yes. We load your rate card, mileage bands and surcharges, and the agent quotes from that. If a job falls outside the rules it captures the detail and tells the caller you will confirm the price, rather than guessing.
What happens to a booking taken at 3am?
It is emailed and texted to your team straight away and sits in your dashboard. You choose whether urgent jobs also ring a duty phone or stay queued until the depot opens.
Will it cope when everyone rings at once?
Yes. There is no queue, because there is no single operator. Forty simultaneous callers get forty simultaneous answers, which is the one thing a human desk physically cannot do.
