A franchise is a great choice for additional revenue alongside your main business. A few people are also running franchises as their main income source. Almost all famous brands in every industry have been providing franchise opportunities. 

Among these, we are going to discuss the courier franchise business and how last-mile delivery management software can make your business profitable. 

Let’s get into it!

Delivery Management in Courier Business

Usually, for a courier business picking up the parcels from the destination (for corporate clients) and delivering the parcels to the right destination are the two main duties. By managing these processes, a courier business can leverage its business. 

Likewise, for a courier franchise business, delivering and picking up the parcels are important for high credibility and revenue. Usually, three kinds of franchise agreements can be done with a courier brand; they are a delivery-only franchise, a pick-up-only franchise, and an all-in-all franchise (model franchise).

Whatever model you choose, you have to streamline the delivery/pickup process as the successful fulfillment of delivery can benefit you and your business.
