PeriShip meteorologists help ensure deliveries weather winter storms

Customized tools allow clients to determine the best time to ship goods

With the holidays and winter weather fast approaching, PeriShip continues to provide clients with innovative tools to make informed decisions about when to ship perishable and time-sensitive goods and when to delay. Chief among these tools is in-depth forecasting and guidance via an in-house team of meteorologists.

Weather reporting plays an important role in giving clients as much peace of mind as possible when conditions are likely to impact delivery routes and major transit lines.

“The term ‘weather reporting’ understates the true benefit of this service,” PeriShip CEO Adam Stedham said. “For PeriShip, it means giving clients customized weather forecasts daily and weekly. We identify zip codes where we recommend delaying shipments because of potential weather events that could affect the on-time delivery of time-critical shipments. PeriShip’s weather reporting gives clients the knowledge they need to minimize spoilage and costly delays.”

As the end of the year speeds toward us and the heart of winter begins in January, PeriShip’s clients rely on curated weather reports to save money and make certain businesses can focus on their operations instead of management of shipping operations.

PeriShip’s daily and weekly weather outlooks provide detailed weather forecasts for the nation’s main sorting hubs for the following shipping day and week, respectively. These resources indicate the potential impact a weather event may have on the transit network, offer maps showing weather fronts and systems that will affect conditions nationally, and a high-temperature forecast map and discussion for affected areas.

Not to be overlooked, once en route, PeriShip monitors the forward movement of parcel shipment progress. Should typical delivery disruptions occur, the team of logistics management experts monitor and intervene on clients’ behalf to ensure packages have every opportunity to arrive on time.

With expertise rooted in the desire to be a part of every mile of clients’ shipping journeys, PeriShip is ready to formulate a customized strategy for weathering any winter storm that may arise. For full details about PeriShip, visit periship.com, email [email protected], or call (203) 315-8637.
