As CSPs are forced to manage their teams in new ways stemming from the demands of time-definite FedEx services, it is now obvious how important and powerful it is to have an easy, affordable and consistent way to ensure that drivers’ achieve 99%+ service.
Great P&D operators always find a way to get their teams to work together toward a goal and move forward to make superior customer service happen. Unfortunately, driver-friendly applications that aid this process and are cost-effective are truly hard to come by. Many team leaders are struggling to find alternatives to their current routing applications, because what's needed now is something that focuses on the difficulties surrounding time definite deliveries.
Wouldn't it be great if there were something out there that helped with time definite deliveries and saved a lot of money?

Here we are, finally on the eve of what will promise to be the really big visible push into Network 2.0 for CSPs.
Many things, mostly unseen, have been underway for years now. Some things, like the transition to the current ISP operating agreement, from the old legacy contract, have been going on for 8 or more years. By the way, make no mistake, it was this transition to the ISP agreement, which forced the relinquishment of proprietary interest in contractor work areas, that paved the way for Network 2.0 to become a reality.
So it could be said that the transition to Network 2.0 has really been in the works for more than 10 years now.
Let’s take a shot at predicting some of what promises to be many significant changes that Network 2.0 will bestow on CSPs as they adapt and survive into the new era:

Are you wondering what changes, if any, you’ll need to make to accommodate your business’s transition to Network 2.0? If so, it may already be time to start thinking about and even implementing some time definite strategies into your operation.
CSPs that have already taken the first steps into Network 2.0’s fast-paced world, will tell you that time management and situational awareness is more important than ever. The inclusion of Time-Definite stops has changed the way they view dispatching drivers and how the drivers handle each day’s workload. Building a time definite strategy now will help you take better control of your current operation and dictate how successful you’ll be during and after the actual integration.
