Carriage Point
Special Diets Directory is a multi-pronged campaign to not only publicise the huge and hidden availability of produce suitable for allergy and food intolerance sufferers but to then make sure the most cost effective and efficent options are in place to deliver. We are also passionate about environmental issues and so have hit on this ' green' approach Transport considerations:
- Fuel prices are rising at an alarming rate - this new approaches is addressing the problem before food and transport businesses are ruined.
- 'Carbon footprint ' is now on everyones lips
- Buying locally often isn't an option for speciality food and goods
- The costs of getting specialist products from A to B is often prohibitively expensive and unviable on a practical level
- Producers Wholesalers, retailers caterers and Carriers need this central hub where they can network and link up to optimise time and costs.
- Many producers who could share deliveries haven't met..... yet!
- Each link in the chain needs good, reliable, cost efffective carriage solutions
- Customer demand for special dietary foods currently way outstrips availability and diversity - transportation restrictions are currently a key limiter
- The special diets market is one of the largest growth areas of the food industry
This section provides details of transport and carriage companies who (in return for being introduced to a host of new customers and 24/7 opportunities of filling part loads) are prepared to be proactive and flexible with transport options, and offer preferentail rates for SpecialDD generated orders.
All parties from manufacturer to point of sale can network both between themselves and with the various preferred carrriers to get the produce to it's destinataion via the Carriage Point section of the site. The 'Share a Delivery Bulletin Board not only enables producers to group together to consolidate deliveries but allows Carriers to post their spare capacity and optimise their costs.
As well as being able to network with the advertisers they will also have contact with the retailers. caterers and wholesalers who will be stocking and distributing the goods.
Preferred carriers will also have an automatic listing in the public area of the site - and who knows where that could lead?!
In a nutshell - a melting pot of complimentary needs and services ready to stir!
The goods will get there - Win Win ! Simple
