3 Ways to Boost Revenue with Ice Cream Truck Dynamic Cannabis Delivery
#1: Eliminate the Time, Cost, and Labor of Manual Dispatching
Dynamic delivery vehicles operate as independent inventory locations with customized product offerings, online menus, and real-time order messaging to generate real-time demand. Vehicles can be automatically dispatched when orders in their zone are placed and fulfill those orders directly without having to travel back to a storefront or inventory hub. Once the item is purchased by the customer, a task is autogenerated in Onfleet and auto-assigned if there's a single driver in the region. This means less manual labor for your dispatcher, allowing that employee to focus on more revenue-generating or creative tasks.
Let's expand on the efficiency gains of ice cream truck-style delivery:
Your Mobile Dispensary acts as an Independent Inventory Location
Mobile dispensaries serve as independent inventory locations, reducing the need for centralized inventory management. By stocking inventory directly into the vehicle, delivery operations eliminate extra trips, which also saves on fuel costs. Cutting back on travel time between a central storefront and delivery locations saves time for both customers and drivers. Together, this streamlined approach reduces overhead costs.
Carry your Top Selling Products for Customized Product Offerings
Each vehicle can be stocked with a tailored selection of products based on demand analysis and customer preferences. Utilize your point of sale system's reporting and analytics suite to stock best sellers within the vehicle. With online menus and real-time inventory tracking, dynamic delivery vehicles can offer customized product offerings tailored to specific geographic areas or customer demographics. This targeted approach not only enhances customer satisfaction by providing relevant products but also maximizes sales potential by meeting the diverse needs of various customers.
Automated Order Fulfillment
Orders placed within a delivery vehicle's designated zone are automatically dispatched, reducing the need for manual intervention. This automated process streamlines order fulfillment and minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring timely delivery to customers.
Task Automation with Onfleet
Integration with task management platforms like Onfleet allows for seamless order processing and dispatching. Tasks are autogenerated and automatically assigned to available drivers, eliminating the need for manual dispatching and reducing labor costs.
Optimized Delivery Routes
Delivery vehicles fulfill orders directly without the need to travel back to a storefront or inventory hub, resulting in optimized delivery routes and reduced travel time. This efficiency not only saves on fuel costs but also increases the number of deliveries that can be completed within a given timeframe.
Focus on Revenue-generating Tasks
By automating order fulfillment and dispatching, delivery businesses can free up labor resources previously allocated to manual tasks. This allows employees to focus on revenue-generating activities such as marketing, or customer service, ultimately driving business growth and profitability.
#2: Reach Underserved Customers & Expand Your Reach
65% of California still does not yet have legal cannabis retail. A key component of Meadow’s Dynamic Delivery is customizable delivery zones that can be drawn to exact specifications — as large or as small as a retailer likes, meaning you can easily target the entire next county over or just a few key zip codes a bit further out than you would serve with a hub-and-spoke model. Your drivers have increased ability to roam new regions with up to $10k in retail value of product ready to sell. This means you can promote your business in adjacent regions to your local customers, helping serve a wider segment with decentralized inventory, creating a larger customer base, more access and faster delivery to customers who may not be used to being able to order products to their homes.
Customize your Operations
Utilizing zones in Meadow provides access to advanced settings, allowing for further customization of your operations. For instance, zones closer to your shop can offer delivery without additional fees, while zones requiring longer driver commutes may include minimum order requirements or delivery fees. As your operations expand across different localities, you can set specific tax rates to ensure accurate taxation for each delivery location.
#3: Set Up Delivery to Serve Local Events with Onsite Sales
It's now incredibly easy for retailers to partner with venues or brick-and-mortar businesses like hotels to set up kiosks with a menu and a dedicated delivery vehicle. Simply create a delivery zone that's one location only and set up a vehicle stocked with up to $5k of grab-and-go products. Add signage to your event encouraging guests to order online and head to a VIP delivery zone. This model would work anywhere from a Giant’s baseball stadium to Golden Gate Park during Outside Lands; simply draw a delivery zone and have a drop area. It's never been easier to have onsite cannabis sales, compliantly, at events across California — without the costs and red tape of using an events license.
Bonus tip: Create a Dedicated Delivery Vehicle for Brand Partners
Retailers can now partner with a brand eager to capitalize on direct-to-consumer opportunities. This new structure unlocks new creative possibilities of how brands and dispensaries work together to reach customers in new ways. For instance, during the upcoming LA Marathon, a retailer could collaborate with Papa & Barkley to have a delivery vehicle full of Releaf Balm and other topicals readily available at the end of the race. For exposure, Papa & Barkley might consider hiring onsite masseuses giving out free infused massages with a flyer to order their own P&B products. The retailer benefits if the brand provides deeply discounted products (say $1/unit instead of $10), and/or they pay a $5,000 product sponsorship, and they’re also bringing new customers into their ecosystem who can be nurtured with loyalty offers and future special promos.
