In a world driven by sustainability, convenience and speed, express delivery is one of the most important aspects of modern day business. The use of express delivery has had a significant impact on employment and job opportunities, particularly in South Africa. With the rise of e-commerce, customers demands are now facilitated faster, and this has opened up a broad new range of opportunities.
Express delivery typically refers to high speed delivery services that transport packages quickly to their customers. It allows businesses to send their products to customers rapidly and in turn, reduce logistics costs associated with shipping and storing inventory. In addition, it allows businesses a platform to track their deliveries, as well as ensure delivery within a timely manner.
In South Africa, express delivery is rapidly becoming an integral and advantageous service to both businesses and customers. It not only provides convenience, but it has also created employment opportunities. The growth of express delivery is allowing entrepreneurs to create their own delivery businesses, as well as contribute to the growth of larger delivery companies. As a result, businesses have increased the number of drivers needed, expanding their workforce and adding to their capacity.
Online shopping, in particular, has become increasingly popular in South Africa. According to Statista, online sales accounted for around 4.8% of total retail sales in 2019. As online sales increase, so too does the number of items requiring delivery. Customers rely on express delivery to get their products quickly. This reliance on express delivery has created a huge need for drivers and vans, ultimately creating job opportunities.
As e-commerce continues to grow exponentially, South Africa’s courier companies need to make reliable and cost-effective services available in order to meet the demands of customers. Manufacturers must now find more efficient ways to make their products available, as people shift from offline stores to online ones. The challenge is to provide suitable employment opportunities that can fit the industry's needs. With proper training and support, express delivery can facilitate economic growth.
