Why an independent delivery system? The delivery environment is a tough one. The end customer is demanding: they want more delivery options, price reductions, better service and better information. Your competition is always increasing. The range of services offered by carriers changes, while pricing tariffs become more complex. Carrier ownership changes. Some carriers stop trading. Are you in control? MetaPack offers an independent means to manage multiple carries. Historically this has not been available via the carriers’ own despatch systems.
