In less than 3 years they have scaled across 32+ cities in India for their full truck load (FTL) and last mile deliveries (LMD) sub-verticals, and now with robust technology, team, network, and clientele, it also diligently started focusing on same-day and next-day deliveries.
The company could make a mark in its clients’ heart due to its service excellence and pledge to attain at least 95 percent SLA adherence. It has been able to achieve this with the help of a robust network and cutting-edge technology that not only optimizes delivery routes but also enhances overall operational efficiency. While the company believes the client is king, it ensures that the client engagement process is marked by a comprehensive evaluation, a meticulous review of objectives, and a well-defined implementation plan. Through every process, system, and action, PPL strives to ensure complete client satisfaction with its services.
