Everyone benefits when a project is completed on time and under budget. Whether you work as a supplier, a contractor, or for a business, accomplishing tasks on time and in an affordable manner is imperative for your success. Yet, according to a recent study, nearly two-thirds (61%) of projects finished behind schedule, and almost half (49%) ended over budget. One main reason for these problems is the lack of efficiency on job sites; according to the Construction Owners Association of America (COAA), up to 63% of labor time on a large construction project is spent planning how to do the work, taking breaks, traveling to and from the build area, and waiting on materials and equipment.
Benefits of PartRunner
To combat the issues of job site inefficiency, PartRunner has created a service to complete scheduled, same-day, and OnDemand deliveries. By using our mobile or desktop applications, customers can gain access to a fleet of experienced drivers (PartRunners) and are able to coordinate deliveries of parts and equipment. With access to SUVs, cargo vans, pickup trucks, and 24 ft box trucks, PartRunners can transport anything from small fittings and valves to 10 ft rigid pipes and 80lb water heaters. Additionally, our drivers can complete orders within a 150-mile radius throughout the Northeast, as PartRunner currently has locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Due to the variety of delivery options, the expansive fleet of vehicles, and flexible schedules of the PartRunners, delivery costs for suppliers, distributors, and contractors who decide to use PartRunner can be reduced by up to 25%.
Scheduled & Same-Day Deliveries
Whether you are looking to plan your business days, weeks, or even months in advance, PartRunner’s scheduled and same-day delivery services will have you covered. By planning drop off and pick up locations in advance with our team, customers will not waste time or money acquiring parts and equipment. These services are ideal for those who wish to fully utilize PartRunner’s established fleet of vehicles and network of drivers.
OnDemand Deliveries
If you are in need of an emergency delivery, a late afternoon delivery, or if you simply need immediate access to a certain part or piece of equipment, PartRunner’s OnDemand delivery service is the perfect solution. By directly coordinating the information of the delivery with our PartRunners through the app, customers in these scenarios will be able to remain on the job site while the necessary parts and equipment are expedited to their exact locations.
Communication with Drivers, Access to Other Features, and Customer Service
To ensure that all orders are completed in a timely and satisfactory manner, PartRunner’s platform allows customers to stay updated with their orders in a variety of ways. To change delivery plans or to confirm the drop-off and pick up locations, customers are able to directly communicate with drivers via SMS text or through the mobile and desktop applications. Additionally, the app allows for live tracking of all orders, and customers also receive a live tracker via SMS text. Also, PartRunner’s Customer Service team is available 24/7 to assist in any way possible.
