This is a guaranteed service for time-specific deliveries of document consignments within the next possible business day targeted at both Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Customer (B2C) Segments. Similar services have been introduced for heavy cargo and nonmetro locations, offering the fastest connectivity possible for customer’s time-sensitive parcels. DTDC has consistently encouraged and adopted technological innovation in every aspect of its business. It offers its customers with services such as maintaining an online address book and tracking packages. Customers can also schedule pickups, request for customized rate quotes and create customized shipment reports. Services such as multiple piece shipping through which you can easily send an identical shipment type to a group of different people without getting in to the hassle of re-entering the same information repeatedly are made available. Another innovative tool used is the DTDC Indian Address Validation Tool that ensures the customer-entered shipping addresses for the destinations are exact when the order is being placed. These functionalities have gone a long way in setting DTDC apart from its competitors.
