Knowledge centre
From the short answer to the operating decision.
Set inbound and change freezes
Late stock, new bundles and last-minute inserts consume the same capacity needed for dispatch. Agree dates after which changes need separate approval.
Publish cut-offs from the complete route
Order processing, carrier collection, line-haul and last-mile risk all sit behind a delivery promise. Add recovery time instead of promising the carrier's ideal transit.
Plan the January return wave
Reserve capacity, disposition rules and customer communication for returns before the outbound peak begins.
FAQ
Questions before you start.
When should peak planning start?
