CouriersPlease is a leading parcel delivery service with nationwide coverage across Australia from 18 locations and approximately 750 independently owned franchisee courier businesses. It offers both same day and next day delivery services and is heavily dependent on technology to enable it to be very price competitive in its same day delivery service.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur couriers were previously using a device running the Windows Mobile operating system<\/a> to manage their pickups and deliveries, but those devices were approaching their end of life. There were issues with functionality, durability and battery life that were significantly impacting our franchisees\u2019 ability to manage their business effectively,\u201d said Jessica Ip, Chief Transformation Officer, CouriersPlease.<\/p>\n

Zebra\u2019s TC56 offers a seamless, fast and easy transition from CouriersPlease\u2019s legacy devices, and worked well with the CouriersPlease CPGo custom Android-based application<\/a>. The purpose-built mobile device<\/a> has increased scanning speed, added functionality with ready-to-use voice solutions and improved battery life of up to 14 hours, thereby enhancing productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cZebra\u2019s TC56 is able to support our new CouriersPlease CPGo application developed for our delivery drivers. Additionally, the solution is robust, easy to use and easy to see under bright sunlight. It can also reliably and quickly scan parcel barcodes that could be dirty, damaged or poorly printed,\u201d added Ip.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to Zebra\u2019s Future of Fulfilment Vision Study, more than half of parcels will be delivered in under two hours by 2028. And it is expected that handheld mobile computers with barcode scanners<\/a> will be used by 99 percent of respondents for omnichannel logistics by 2021,\u201d said Tom Christodoulou, Regional Director of Australia and New Zealand, Zebra Technologies<\/a>. \u201cThe digital transformation journey is a natural move for any forward-thinking company, and we are delighted to support CouriersPlease in its transformation to becoming a digital e-commerce service provider.\u201d<\/p>\n
