On-demand delivery is the quickest way to get your customers what they need, when they need it. If your customer’s order volumes don’t support steady, routed work, our On-Demand Delivery services are a great fit for your organization. From the time that your customer places an order with you, we can get their order to them within as little as two hours.
Scheduled courier deliveries are those deliveries that have a recurring delivery frequency and ship-to point. Scheduled delivery service can be to one location or multiple locations, with shipments once per day or multiple times per week. To assist with operational planning, customers can specify their desired pickup and delivery times. The same technology allows customers to track deliveries in real-time, giving them the insight and transparency into their shipping operations that they need.

On average, the normal lead time needed to start up a new operation is 6-8 weeks. This time includes pricing and contract negotiation, warehouse setup, driver training, and inventory transition. The complexity of the services being provided or the scale of the operation may impact that timing. Orbit has experience implementing both small and large customers and will work closely with you on developing a detailed implementation timeline with major milestones, dependencies, and assignment of responsibilities.
All of Orbit’s facilities are secure with door contacts, alarms, and video surveillance. All employees need badges to access the warehouse and all visitors must check in when entering the building.
