The Rise and Rise of E-Commerce: Why Fast, Secure Shipping Is More Important Than Ever

According to business.com, 2019 is due to see huge developments in online shopping, such as a growing reliance on drop shipping, the increased ‘influencer’ role of social media giants like Facebook and Instagram, the option of renting goods within the fashion industry rather than buying outright, and the never-ending growth of Amazon into new areas of commerce.

The rise of e-commerce means that consumers now expect all types of goods delivered to them in the shortest time possible – speed; safety and security are paramount when it comes to transporting those sought-after products.

According to business.com, 2019 is due to see huge developments in online shopping, such as a growing reliance on drop shipping, the increased ‘influencer’ role of social media giants like Facebook and Instagram, the option of renting goods within the fashion industry rather than buying outright, and the never-ending growth of Amazon into new areas of commerce.

With all this focus on the digital world, it is almost easy to forget the importance of physically getting the goods to consumers. Shipping companies will continue to get busier and they need innovation more than ever to set themselves apart from the competition.

RoadLINX is a Toronto-based freight trucking and international shipping company that uses a wide variety of services to ensure the reliable transportation of goods between Canada and the US.

Their approach is to employ a diverse range of technical experts and specialist equipment to offer a complete package of transportation services. No matter how big, how small or how fast the job, RoadLINX believe they have the solutions available to make sure goods get to where they need to be, when they need to be. A full tracking system is also available as standard.

A spokesperson for RoadLINX says: “With no job too big, small or complicated, we are committed to providing the very best transportation service while remaining flexible enough to provide a genuinely personal service.

“Our team of freight brokers works with customers to match them to the shipping options best suited to their needs. With a full range of options covering specialty containers, expedited services and state-of-the-art tracking technology, customers will not find such diversity, quality and security in any other trucking company.”

RoadLINX has temperature-controlled trucks, which use advanced technology – specifically a compressor, condenser and evaporator – that work together to maintain a stable temperature. This ensures goods are kept at a suitable temperature, no matter what’s happening outside.

With speed of the essence, RoadLINX already offer two-day shipping between the US and Canada – but have now gone one better with a one-day shipping service. They do this by providing two drivers in the same vehicle, allowing them to swap partway through the journey to keep things on the move.

With other services including a secure storage service, with 24/7 access and camera surveillance, and competitively-priced shipments to trade shows, RoadLINX are set up to capitalise on the ongoing e-commerce boom.

The RoadLINX spokesperson says: “Online shopping is such a fast-moving industry that you never know where the next disruptive innovation is coming from. That means we need to be set up to respond to all kinds of new developments. This is why we have focused on fast shipping, flexible options such as small and large shipments, and temperature control to underline our diverse range of skills and expertise.”
