TRANSPORTATION UPDATE

“Schneider’s solutions fit our vision for the future, providing better service levels and proper rates,” he says. “The biggest win we will gain from this partnership is the ability to have consistent communication about deliveries to our customers.” Blish-Mize customers now have more opportunities to track deliveries, and the Blish-Mize team has more options to notify customers on their delivery status. There will be options for email notifications based on driver locations, GPS updates during the driver’s route and a program that can provide estimated times of arrival based on when a load leaves the warehouse. These estimates will be initiated as Schneider becomes familiar with the Blish-Mize process. “The upgrades in delivery notifications should be immensely better from what our customers have seen,” Clark says. “Schneider technology makes it a little more foolproof.” Clark anticipates a seamless transition to the new service, but he says a critical piece of making the new partnership successful is ensuring retailers have provided accurate contact information. To make sure your contact information is current or to add more team members to receive notifications, contact your sales representative or the Blish-Mize customer service team at 800-995-0525 or customerservice@blishmize.com.
