Hiring the Best Cannabis Delivery Drivers

As a cannabis delivery business, you will be judged on a few key items: if you got the order right, if you were on time, and how friendly you were. For a cannabis delivery business, this is a crucial fact since you truly only have this one opportunity to make a lasting impression. Thus, it’s imperative to hire the best delivery drivers. Delivery Biz Pro recommends that you check the driving records of all applicants and call references on their previous driving experience. You want someone who is not only safe but reliable since probably the worst taste you can leave in a customer’s mouth is being late.

Laying the groundwork on condition of employment will be important as well since you can potentially lose your cannabis business license if something is messed up. In most states, cannabis delivery drivers have to be over the age of 21, have a physical address to deliver the cannabis to, and have a copy of the business license with them in the car at all times. Having their driver’s license every day will be important, as will having their employee badge.

Number one to stress when hiring cannabis delivery drivers is that they can under no circumstances use cannabis during working hours. This should be grounds for immediate firing if this rule is broken. Delivery Biz Pro advises you to emphasize that because you are a cannabis delivery business, you will be under more intense scrutiny. Every move counts — literally.

DELIVERY BIZ PRO’S HOME DELIVERY SOFTWARE FOR YOUR CANNABIS DELIVERY BUSINESS

Delivering cannabis can be overwhelming for some drivers, especially if they are not used to following all of the regulations. Ideally, you want someone with experience; however, more importantly, you need someone who is willing to follow the rules.

As part of our cannabis delivery software, your drivers will be able to make changes to orders on the fly, collect delivery signatures, get directions, print out receipts, and so much more.

We also work with people who haven’t officially started their business yet, but who have a dream and are doing their due diligence to make it happen. However, starting a business that makes recurring deliveries is a lot different than other industries and requires unique planning. Before starting your home delivery business, be sure to consider the following aspects of this type of business:

What To Consider When Starting A Home Delivery Business

Find A Need In The Market

Before you decide to start your delivery, you will want to ensure that there are people in the area who will actually use it. Put out some feelers at community events, farmers markets, and neighborhood forums to discover if people will buy what you’re selling not only in terms of your product but your service as well.

Discover Who Your Competitors Will Be

If your market is heavily saturated with competitors, it might be hard to find solid footing at the beginning. Do plenty of research about your competitors and find out what you will need to do to compete. What will your edge be that convinces customers to choose you, and brand new business, over an established competitor?

Determine A Delivery Radius

While creating a delivery radius might narrow your scope of customers, it will also ensure you aren’t going overboard on mileage costs. You can always expand this radius later as you find success. It might be a good idea to start in a heavily populated area and expand to homes that are further off the grid at a later time.  

Know How You Will Actually Make Deliveries

This one seems obvious, but many entrepreneurs start with a product before they have a way to deliver it. The ins and outs of the delivery business can be complicated and starting off on the right foot is a vital step toward success. Utilizing a home delivery software from the beginning can help you ensure quality service on your very first day.

Make Sure You Have The Right Supplies

What will you need to deliver your promised products? You obviously need access to your product, whether it is fresh milk that you personally collect on your dairy farm every morning or propane that is shipped in from a supplier. But you also need tanks to hold the propane, bottles to hold the milk, or ice boxes to keep meat cold. You also need a way to transport orders, whether it is a van, a truck, or a trailer.

Know How To Market Your Business

If you own a business but nobody can find it, it won’t be successful. Devise a marketing strategy whether it is posting flyers at grocery stores, going door to door, or running Facebook ads. Make sure people will know how to find your website and how to place orders. When you work with our home delivery software company, we can help you create promotional materials like postcards and door hangers in addition to the other features our software includes.

Start Small And Scale Up

While it can be tempting to go “all in” on your new business, it is important to start small and ensure you can feasibly handle and afford running your business. After you master a small region or offering only a few products, you can expand your inventory and delivery radius.

Stay Above Board

Do plenty of research to make sure that your business is legal and that you have the proper licensing and insurance. This is especially true if you will be providing food products. Each state and city have their own laws, so check to ensure you are meeting your local regulations.

Home Delivery Software Is Vital To Your Business

In this day and age, it is nearly impossible to run a successful delivery business without an intuitive home delivery software. The Delivery Biz Pro software can be specifically tailored to your industry and seamlessly integrates everything from your website to your customer database to order management to route planning. Everything’s made simple with just one software. Fill out our short delivery software application today to learn more!

We’ve been there. Change is scary, especially when your livelihood is on the line. But sometimes you have to take the leap in order to grow your delivery business. When you start using a home delivery software like Delivery Biz Pro, you can depend on us to help hoist you over the wall and ensure you have a soft landing on the other side. We will not only be your software provider but your software partner as well.

Our co-founders, Judd and Erick, founded DBP with customer service in mind. Erick said that when he joined DBP in 2007, it was “refreshing to be a part of a team that actually cared about their customers.” Judd echoes this sentiment, having said, “My goal in this career has been simple: listen to the client and built solutions that give them results.”

As a global software provider, we have team members all over the world ready to help you. From Colorado to Michigan and from Australia to Pakistan, the DBP team is here to provide you with an easy-to-use software and training to ensure you are getting the most out of your software.

We hope that knowing our commitment to you and your business makes you feel a little less intimidated by switching to an entirely new home delivery software. If you’re still needing some help getting over that brick wall, then keep reading below for a few quick tips on integrating a new delivery software.

Determine Your Goals

First, determine what you want to get out of your software. Why do you know that it’s time to upgrade to a better software? Are your drivers consistently missing deliveries? Do your customers request later order cut-off times? Are you unsure how much money your business is making and how much these deliveries are costing you? Do you want to have more comprehensive data that can help you find areas to improve? Are your drivers working late every day because of bad driving routes?

Every company that goes looking for the best delivery software on the market is doing so because they have a goal in mind, so what is yours?

[uxi_button link=”post_id-789″ new_window=”0″ tel=”0″ class=”button-33″ padding_x=”” padding_y=”” text=”Get In Touch With DBP To Learn More About Integrating Our Software” text_size=”14″ text_size_mobile=”” text_font=”header-font” sub_text=”” sub_text_size=”12″ sub_text_size_mobile=”” sub_text_font=”header-font” icon=”” icon_size=”12″ icon_size_mobile=”” icon_align=””]

Find A Software That Can Achieve Your Goal

Next, make sure the software you are choosing can help you achieve your goals. Knowing that you are working with a competent software company that frequently updates their products and — for lack of a better phrase — knows what they’re doing, can give you peace of mind that even if changes bring some tension to your business, your delivery software company is going to be there to pick you up.

We say this all the time here on the DBP blog, but selling you a software that won’t work for your business isn’t good for either of us. We’d rather be honest with you if our software isn’t a good fit for your business model than end up wasting our time and yours. For that reason, we have an “Apply Now” button on our website that gives you the opportunity to tell us your goals for your business. Then, we’ll schedule a time to chat more and make sure we’ll be able to help you get there before we sign any paperwork.

Train Up Your Team

Every new process requires training. Find a time to train anyone on your team who will be interacting with the software before implementing it, from the customer service team to the drivers. This will help get them familiar and allow them to ask questions before it’s go-time.

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask Questions

We are providing you a service, and that service doesn’t stop when you start using our home delivery software. At Delivery Biz Pro, we’re here to help you get your software set up as well as provide you with ongoing support throughout your time working with us. We don’t expect you to be a software expert, so if you are confused about something, just ask.

The Industries We Love To Help

Dairy Delivery

Dairy deliveries looked to be a thing of the past as supermarkets promised cheap and always-available milk, seemingly eliminating the need for a “milkman.” But trends for recurring milk and dairy deliveries are swinging back up as more and more people want to know where their milk is coming from, support local farmers, and have the freshest milk possible. With the increase in customers, farmers benefit from a home delivery software for milk and dairy products.

The dairy delivery industry functions differently than other food industries, so a dairy delivery software that meets the intricate needs of this industry is essential in running a successful business.

Produce Delivery

Between CSAs and the emergence of the farm-to-table movement, there are more opportunities than ever for local farmers to break into the home delivery market. Our home delivery software for produce gives your customers the ability choose what is coming in their produce box for the week while keeping things streamlined on your end. And while our software is perfect for home deliveries, it can also be used to execute commercial deliveries and allow customers to pick up fresh produce directly from your farm or a meeting location.

Meal Kit Delivery

It seems like every week a new flyer comes in the mail promising the freshest food from the latest meal kit delivery. Between Blue Apron, HelloFresh, and Home Chef, you can find yourself wondering, “How is my small farm business going to keep up with the Big Guys?” With the right home delivery software, you can. With Delivery Biz Pro, you will get a gorgeous website that is easy for customers to navigate and industry-specific features that allow your meal kit delivery service to thrive. Our home delivery software helps create logical ordering, packing, and delivery processes to streamline your service. You can worry about providing your customers with fresh produce and ingredients and let us worry about route assignment and making sure the orders get where they need to go.

Water Delivery

Water delivery services is one of the largest markets in the world. From schools to hospitals to bars to homes, people love having clean, great-tasting drinking water on hand. With our water delivery software, your customers will have access to a beautifully designed, modern online marketplace that makes subscribing to your water service easy. Customers can go in themselves and establish their order size and frequency. Our commercial and home delivery software will handle the rest with automated billing, route assignment, and a mobile app for your drivers to help each delivery get made on time and with accuracy.

And More!

Of course, recurring home deliveries are not limited to water, meals, produce, and dairy. These are just a few examples. Our delivery software also helps out the propane industry, meat and egg deliveries, pre-made meal deliveries, and more. If you’re not sure if we’re a good fit, just ask!

Customizable Delivery Software For Your Industry

You’re probably thinking that one software can’t possibly handle the needs of all of the industries above. Well, we thought that too. So, we created a plethora of customizable features in our software program to meet the needs of various industries. That way, you don’t have to settle for a sub-par delivery software and you certainly don’t need to buy multiple software solutions. The day-to-day operations of a propane delivery provider and a meal kit delivery service are going to be vastly different, but with DBP, our team is here to help you use your software exactly how you need to.  

We continually update our software to meet the needs of the industries we serve. After all, as your industry changes you need a home delivery software that can keep up. From an unwavering commitment to data security to finding new ways to improve the experience of your customers, your drivers, and your staff, Delivery Biz Pro is here to not only be your software provider, but your software partner.

If your business is moving in the direction of offering recurring deliveries you will need a way to map out deliveries in a way that makes sense. Or, if you are already offering delivery but it seems to be more work than it’s worth, you could be using the wrong route planning tools.

Delivery Biz Pro seeks to offer a solution to businesses looking for an easy, efficient way to make deliveries. With our delivery routing software, customers and their orders are seamlessly integrated with the route planner system, so mapping our driver routes is incredibly simple with our system that does all of the hard work for you. Gone are the days of trying to keep everything organized in spreadsheets or creating routes by hand.

We know a lot of people are on the fence about using a delivery routing software. After all, isn’t that what the map feature on your smartphone is for? But we also know there’s a better way. With the technology we have available today, there’s no reason not to use an industry-specific delivery management system.

Please excuse us while we put on our best Jeff Foxworthy voice and say: You might need a route planning software if…

Your business makes recurring deliveries.

This is possibly the most obvious sign that your business needs a delivery routing software. When planning delivery routes, you really need to be using a tool that is integrated into your customer database that can organize routes and ensure the right deliveries are made to the right homes.

With our routing software, for example, you can alter routes based on your business model. If you serve a small area and only deliver on Mondays, your routing software can handle that without a problem. If you deliver to the east side of town on Mondays and the west side on Wednesdays, you can create two routes based on a customer’s location. Even if you have some customers who want deliveries on different days of the week or who only need deliveries every other week or once a month, using a route planning software takes the complication out of handling all of these different variants.

Your drivers sometimes miss deliveries or deliver the wrong items.

To err is human… which is why we think a software makes a better route planner than a human. We don’t want to imply that technology needs to run every aspect of your business. After all, a software can’t shake the hand of a potential investor or prepare a healthy diet for your hens so they lay perfectly shaped eggs. It can, though, look at the addresses and orders of all of your customers, place them in a logical order on a map, and create a route for your drivers to follow — all in a matter of seconds!

[uxi_button link=”post_id-789″ new_window=”1″ tel=”0″ class=”button-33″ padding_x=”” padding_y=”” text=”Want To Learn More About Our Routing Software? Let’s Chat!” text_size=”18″ text_size_mobile=”” text_font=”header-font” sub_text=”” sub_text_size=”12″ sub_text_size_mobile=”” sub_text_font=”header-font” icon=”” icon_size=”12″ icon_size_mobile=”” icon_align=””]

Your customers are interested in delivery or your competitors are already delivering.

Perhaps you don’t currently make recurring deliveries, but you have heard from loyal customers that they would love to see a delivery option or you notice your competitors in the area are delivering. If this is the case, making the move toward a home delivery system can be the boost your business needs to stay relevant.

Of course, you don’t want to start offering delivery without a solid plan about how you’ll make it happen. This is especially important for those in the meat, egg, dairy, and produce industries as you will need more than a delivery management software and a truck to start making deliveries. You will need ways to ensure your customers don’t get spoiled products, which usually involves investing in some sort of porch ice box or insulated packaging with ice packs.

Using a software like ours, you can have your customers put a deposit on these items and mark off who has outstanding containers and who has returned them in good condition.

You want to modernize your business.

Delivery is convenient. It’s as easy as that. And in today’s busy world, many people would rather spend time after work and on the weekends with their families, not driving to the store. People are willing to spend a few extra bucks to have their propane tanks or groceries delivered to their front door if it will save them an hour of their time.

Offering efficient, reliable delivery to your customers will make their lives easier. And while you make their lives easier, there’s no reason to run yourself into the ground trying to plan out routes by hand or using a route planner that isn’t industry-specific or integrated with your orders. A route planning software can make your life better and your customers’ lives better — we believe that’s what they call a ‘win-win situation’.

At Delivery Biz Pro, we want to empower your drivers. We want to give drivers the tools they need to make order changes on the road, get back on track if they need to make a detour, take payments, skip deliveries, text customers, collect signatures, and more, all with one convenient software that does the hard work for you. Keep reading to learn what these unsung heroes of the delivery world can do with our intuitive driver routing software.

Assign Routes

This is perhaps the most important feature of our routing software. It’s the bread and butter of any driver software: the ability to assign customers to routes in the easiest way possible. Whether you have multiple drivers on the road every day or one driver who delivers to different neighborhoods based on the day of the week, it’s easier than ever to assign drivers to a route.

Ways To Assign Delivery Driver Routes

You can assign routes based on how your business model works. Do you allow customers to choose what day of the week they prefer their deliveries to come on? You can create routes based on the day of the week, so your driver hits all of the Monday houses on Monday, Wednesday houses on Wednesday, and so forth.

You can also assign routes based on neighborhoods or cities. Using our delivery routing software, you can do something as easy as drawing circles on the interactive map which will automatically group customers in that region into their own route. One driver can cover the north side of the town while another covers the south. You can create as many routes as you need based on how many areas you are serving and how much space a driver can cover in a shift.

You can assign routes based on what product is being delivered. Perhaps you have one driver delivering refrigerated goods and another dropping off non-refrigerated products. These drivers can be assigned to their routes, and customers who use both services can be added to multiple routes.

[uxi_button link=”post_id-789″ new_window=”1″ tel=”0″ class=”button-33″ padding_x=”” padding_y=”” text=”Want To Learn More? Let’s Chat!” text_size=”16″ text_size_mobile=”” text_font=”header-font” sub_text=”” sub_text_size=”12″ sub_text_size_mobile=”” sub_text_font=”header-font” icon=”” icon_size=”12″ icon_size_mobile=”” icon_align=””]

Routes Based On Time Or Distance

Say you’re heading to the airport and you pull up directions on your smartphone. You will almost always be greeted with multiple route options. One route will save you 15 minutes, but you will drive more miles, while the other will save you some gas but take more time. Our driver software has the same features. You can set your system to assign stops based on distance or based on driving time and adjust this at any time while on the road with the touch of a button. Alternately, you can always manually adjust stops by using a ‘drag and drop’ function or by repositioning that stop in the numbered list.

Customers Can Edit Orders While You’re On The Road

If your business model allows it, your customers can adjust their order on the day of the delivery up to a cutoff time that you indicate. When a customer logs into their account, they will be automatically notified if they have missed this cutoff time to avoid any confusion. This is perfect for businesses that deliver a single product, such as water jugs or propane tanks. If a customer remembers at the last minute that they have guests coming into town and will need an extra water jug this week, they can change their order online and your driver will be notified at that stop that they need to drop off an extra jug.

Generate Load And Drop Sheets

Of course, if your team doesn’t know what to load onto the truck, then your delivery driver software might be lacking a crucial feature. Delivery Biz Pro allows you to generate load and drop sheets with the click of a button. These can be printed on paper or viewed electronically based on what is easier for your loading and driving team. Your load sheets can be organized alphabetically, by warehouse location, or by drop location for a first-one-in-last-one-out system. Our software also allows you to print labels with your company logo, the customer’s name and address, order numbers and product information, or whatever else you need to ensure that your driver and routing software is working for your business.

Touch-Screen Tablets For On The Road Changes

Your drivers can use our touch-screen tablets to take charge of their route and deliveries. They can modify orders on the road, add new orders, and leave order notes if needed. They can also collect payments from customers with signatures, print invoices and receipts, skip deliveries based on last-minute changes, and mark deposit returns if your customers are sending back milk bottles, water jugs, or empty propane tanks.

Overview

We know that was a lot of information! We’ve made a helpful infographic to help you process how many great benefits our routing software offers.
