In today's fast-paced world, technology is essential, especially in logistics where efficiency, accuracy, and speed are crucial. The logistics sector has seen remarkable transformations over the past decade, driven by advancements in technology that have streamlined operations, reduced costs, and improved service delivery. At Firstpoint Logistics, we use cutting-edge technology to provide our clients with the best possible experience, whether its a same-day delivery, European delivery, or a specialised delivery like white-glove handling.
The Role of Technology in Logistics
Technology now underpins modern logistics, significantly enhancing supply chain visibility, customer service quality, and operational efficiency. Features like real-time tracking and route optimisation allow logistics companies to streamline operations, provide immediate updates, and guarantee prompt deliveries. For customers, this means greater transparency, reliable service, and the ability to monitor shipments at every stage.
Firstpoint Logistics: Innovating with Onepoint
At Firstpoint Logistics, we understand that in an industry driven by speed and precision, technology is not just a tool, but the foundation of everything we do. That’s why we developed Onepoint, our proprietary technology platform designed to streamline operations and ensure a seamless service delivery for our clients.
Onepoint isn’t just another customer portal; it’s a customer-focused solution that empowers both our team and our clients. From its inception, Onepoint was designed with a clear mission: to create a software ecosystem that is self-sufficient and adaptable to the ever-evolving needs of the logistics industry. This platform has all the essential components needed to deliver services autonomously, but it also provides the flexibility to continuously innovate and add new features, ensuring an enhanced and seamless experience for our customers.

Key Features of Onepoint Technology

1. Geo-location Tracking and Route Optimisation
Onepoint provides real-time tracking, allowing clients to monitor the exact location of their consignments throughout the delivery process. This level of transparency enables Firstpoint to respond swiftly to any potential issues, minimising the risk of delays and ensuring a smooth process. With built-in route optimisation, the platform ensures efficient, timely deliveries by automatically adjusting routes to avoid delays, helping businesses reduce costs, be more time-efficient, and maintain customer satisfaction. -

We know that timely communication is crucial. With the Onepoint app, clients receive real-time notifications about the status of their deliveries. From pick-up to delivery, everyone is kept in the loop every step of the way. Whether it’s a delay, an estimated arrival time, or an issue that needs attention, the system ensures that no information slips through the cracks. By providing accurate and up-to-date information, the platform enhances transparency and trust, giving customers peace of mind and the ability to plan ahead. .png?width=732&height=458&name=Clarke%20Wilmott%20(1).png)

3. Consignee Notifications
Firstpoint Logistics goes a step further by providing consignee notifications, if the client requires it. This means that the recipient of the consignment also receives updates in real time, ensuring they are prepared for the delivery and can manage their schedule accordingly. By enhancing communication and transparency, this service improves delivery success rates and overall customer satisfaction, - 4. KPI Reporting and Proof of Delivery
Onepoint gives clients access to downloadable KPI reports, providing valuable insights into performance metrics. Additionally, proof of delivery is readily available, complete with time-stamped confirmations and recipient details, providing full transparency and accountability. This ensures that both the sender and recipient have documentation of the successful delivery. .png?width=619&height=488&name=Clarke%20Wilmott%20(5).png)

At Firstpoint, we’re committed to sustainability. Onepoint allows clients to view their individual carbon impact for each consignment, helping businesses make more environmentally conscious decisions. This transparency not only supports companies in meeting their sustainability goals but also promotes a culture of accountability. By utilising Onepoint’s advanced analytics, we align our operations with our ESG strategy, which includes initiatives like carbon offset programs and sustainable vehicle use. -
6. Driver Rating and Feedback
We believe that feedback is essential for continuous improvement. Onepoint enables clients to rate their drivers, ensuring that only the highest standards of service are maintained. Clients can provide detailed feedback on factors such as punctuality, professionalism, and communication, creating a robust feedback loop. Not only does this help us refine our operations but also motivates our drivers to consistently deliver exceptional service, ensuring customer satisfaction at every touchpoint. .png?width=528&height=378&name=1.%20(5).png)
