Are there certain types or profiles of companies that benefit from DCC?
We have found that a diverse group of companies, representing a wide array of industries, experience service and cost improvements through DCC. As an example, good candidates for the DCC product offering include companies in industries that have time-sensitive deliveries or special handling requirements. Products such as newspapers, baked goods or refrigerated products come to mind. Components that are delivered in just-in-time manufacturing are another example. Products that have high value such as those in the hi-tech, telecommunications or pharmaceutical industries are often shipped via DCC. Another circumstance that favors DCC would be product distribution requiring multiple modes of transportation air, sea and road to reach a final destination, multiple stops on a closed loop highway route, or unattended delivery during off-hours. All frequently benefit from DCC.
