Start a New Courier Business For $1999.95.
How to start your own new courier, messenger or delivery service? Start-up is easy with a car and Courier In A Box. Be a self-employed, home based entrepreneur for less than $2,000.00 using the same tracking technology as companies like FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other same day couriers.
(PRWEB) September 10, 2005 -- The failure rate in starting any new business today in North America is extremely high. The odds are truly stacked against the hopeful entrepreneur. Skyrocketing start up costs can bury a new business owner before he or she even begins to market their products or services. Like an alligator with a voracious appetite; advertising, employee, inventory and office expenses can eat up the profits of a new business, quickly destroying even the most well thought out business plans. This is the reason why so many businesses fail within the first two years of operation. Most companies need at least three to four years of operation to reach the break even stage. Horror stories of so many failed ventures have led thousands of wannabe business owners to reject the idea that they may succeed in business.
Some entrepreneurs have minimized risk by investing in well established companies that offer franchises, but once again, franchise fees and start up expenses can be cost prohibitive to those that can only operate on a shoestring budget. This dilemma would lead most to believe that success in business is reserved for only those with deep pockets. Not so!
A new company with a unique sales strategy has just released a program that could give hundreds or even thousands of opportunistic potential business owners the chance to operate their very own delivery service for less than $2,000. DocuDirector, a division of MasterTrac Software, (www.MasterTrac.com), has introduced a delivery business start up kit called Courier In A Box or CBX. CBX is revolutionary. With a good running vehicle and CBX, anybody can run a delivery service. By today’s standards, to start a courier, delivery or messenger service, you would require knowledge of the courier business, a vehicle, an office, a receptionist/dispatcher, a cell phone and communications devices for use with other drivers. Additionally, in order to compete on the same level as FedEx, UPS and most local courier services, a very expensive delivery software program and web interface for dispatching and tracking purposes is a must.
Courier In A Box includes an instruction book and a quick start guide on how to own and operate a courier business. Links to courier news agencies and courier association websites are also terrific for assisting with continual training and updates. Also included in CBX are sales and marketing resources and online courier business support. And two of the most important features of CBX are DocuDirector Courier Software and web order entry, and a programmed Pocket PC hand held mobile delivery dispatching and tracking device. Pocket PC's have been redeveloped to include new wireless communications technology that features all in one functionality including, cell phone, walkie-talkie, GPS tracking and mapping, organizer, calendar, email and high speed web browsing capabilities. High speed web browsing is the key.
This is how it all works. DocuDirector operates a web server that allows courier customers to go online to order delivery services. The order goes directly to a Pocket PC. The courier company owner or field supervisor reads the delivery request on his hand held Pocket PC dispatch screen. (Desktop or laptop based dispatching is also included). The user can then automatically notify his customer that the delivery request has been accepted. The user can either service the delivery or assign it to another driver. The customer can then go online and track the delivery from start to finish. Records of all deliveries are recorded for tracking and monthly invoicing. Because of this exciting new technology, small start up courier services can appear to be large, well funded companies and compete on the same level with larger money wasting rivals for a fraction of the cost. By using DocuDirector and a Pocket PC, large courier companies can also benefit greatly by reducing dispatching expenses and by appearing more like the smaller, more personal service oriented competitors.
Mobile dispatching with DocuDirector will get you the business. It will also allow you to retain the business by keeping you in closer contact with your customers. It’s all about service! For only $1999.95 for Courier In A Box and a minimal monthly service fee, DocuDirector for Pocket PC is the perfect solution for anybody that wants to run a successful courier business for just a few dollars a day!
