How Technology is Revolutionising the Courier Industry

Lewis Taxis • 26 October 2023

In today's fast-paced world, where convenience and efficiency are paramount, the courier service industry is undergoing a profound transformation thanks to cutting-edge technology. Whether you need to send a parcel across town or across the country, technology is making it easier, faster, and more reliable than ever before. Here at Lewis Taxis, we recognise the importance of staying at the forefront of these innovations to provide the best courier service in the West Midlands.



Real-time Tracking

One of the most significant advancements in the courier industry is the introduction of real-time tracking. With the help of GPS technology, both customers and couriers can now monitor the exact location of their parcels in real-time. This not only provides peace of mind but also allows for accurate estimated delivery times. At Lewis Taxis, we have integrated this technology into our parcel delivery service, ensuring that you can monitor your parcel's journey from pickup to drop-off with ease.


Efficient Route Planning

In the past, route planning was a manual and time-consuming process for couriers. Today, sophisticated algorithms and mapping tools have streamlined this operation. These technologies help couriers optimise their routes, reducing travel time, fuel consumption, and overall costs. As a result, you can expect faster and more cost-effective parcel deliveries when you choose Lewis Taxis as your courier service provider.


Digital Booking and Payments

Booking a courier service is no longer a hassle, thanks to digital booking and payment options. You can conveniently schedule a pickup, select the delivery service that suits your needs, and make payments securely online. No more waiting on hold or visiting courier offices. Lewis Taxis has embraced this technology, making it easier than ever to send a parcel to the required destination.


Mobile Apps for Convenience

Mobile apps have become an integral part of our daily lives. The courier industry has not been left behind in this regard. Many courier companies, including Lewis Taxis, offer mobile apps that allow customers to book services, track parcels, and even communicate with their courier all from their smartphones. The convenience of having all these features in one place enhances the overall experience of sending a parcel.


Automation and Robotics

Automation is playing a pivotal role in the courier industry. From automated sorting systems in warehouses to delivery drones and self-driving vehicles, technology is increasing the speed and efficiency of the entire delivery process. While Lewis Taxis may not be using drones (yet), we are continually exploring ways to automate our processes to provide faster and more reliable courier services.


Enhanced Customer Support

Customer service has also benefited from technological advancements. Chatbots, AI-driven customer support systems, and 24/7 assistance from a team of people make it easier than ever to get the help you need when sending a parcel. At Lewis Taxis, we are committed to providing top-notch customer support, ensuring your courier service experience is smooth and trouble-free.


As with many others, the courier industry is experiencing a technological revolution that is enhancing the speed, efficiency, and convenience of parcel delivery services. At Lewis Taxis, we understand the importance of staying at the forefront of these innovations to offer you the best courier service possible.
