What Exactly Is Zip Limiting
Zip Limiting is a strategic approach in delivery management where certain zip codes are included or excluded based on various criteria such as delivery efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and service reliability. This method helps in optimizing routes and ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to areas that align with the service goals.For instance, if certain zip codes are identified as consistently problematic or costly, they can be limited or excluded from certain service levels. Conversely, high-demand or high-performance areas can be prioritized.
