Businesses today are under pressure to deliver faster, smarter, and more affordably. But how do you know if investing in a delivery management platform (DMP) is really worth it?
The answer lies in ROI—Return on Investment. In this blog, we’ll break down what ROI means, how to calculate it, and why a delivery system like Zeew could give you big returns.
What Is ROI and Why Does It Matter?
ROI (Return on Investment) shows how much money you earn compared to what you spent.
For example
If you spend $1,000 on a tool that helps you earn $3,000, your ROI is 200%.
In delivery, ROI helps you see if using a platform makes your business more profitable over time.
The Real Costs of Manual Delivery Operations
Before calculating ROI, consider what your current setup is costing you:
-
Time spent managing drivers manually
-
Missed or delayed orders
-
Customer complaints or loss
-
High fuel and route inefficiencies
-
Paperwork and human errors
These hidden costs add up. Many businesses don’t realize how much they’re losing without a proper system in place.
What a Delivery Management Platform Can Save or Earn You
A good delivery platform can:
-
Automate dispatch and reduce manual work
-
Optimize delivery routes to save fuel and time
-
Track drivers in real-time
-
Send automatic updates to customers
-
Store customer data for faster repeat orders
-
Reduce order errors and refunds
-
Improve customer satisfaction (which leads to more sales)
How to Calculate ROI for a Delivery Management Platform
Here’s a simple formula:
ROI = (Net Profit from Platform – Cost of Platform) ÷ Cost of Platform × 100
Example ROI Calculation
Let’s say you invest $500/month in a delivery management platform.
With it, you save:
-
$300 in driver time
-
$200 in fuel
-
Gain $600 in extra orders due to better service
Net profit = $300 + $200 + $600 = $1,100
Cost = $500
ROI = ($1,100 – $500) ÷ $500 × 100 = 120%
That means you earn more than double your investment—every month.
What to Look for in a High-ROI Platform
Not all platforms are built the same. Choose a platform that offers:
-
Route optimization
-
Real-time driver tracking
-
White-label branding (your logo, your app)
-
Easy-to-use dashboard
-
Flexible for different industries (food, pharmacy, grocery, etc.)
