    This is one of the few podcasts I subscribe to.

    Ian's regular updates are short and to the point. His guests are knowledgeable and entertaining.

    I feel if I don't listen to this podcast then I am going to miss something important.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 403: How to be profitable in parcels
Q: How can a parcel carrier start identifying unprofitable customers or understanding what those customers mean to the bottom line?
Measure end-to-end costs, including direct and indirect costs, and allocate them as granularly as possible. Comparing costs with revenue can reveal unprofitable customers and the reasons behind the losses.
Ep 403: How to be profitable in parcels
Q: Can we still use a cost allocation tool for letters, or is it really just a parcels tool?
Cost allocation can be used for both. Tracked parcels provide more detailed operational events, while letters can be costed using predefined processes and business rules, though with less granularity.
Ep 402: InPost UK CCO Jon Nicholson
Q: How have you grown your PUDO network?
The PUDO network is primarily built through a nationwide network of shop locations, selected based on volume demand, local density, and customer access needs, ensuring there is always an access point for delivery or collection across the UK.
Ep 401: Geopost sustainability strategy
Q: What impact has the Carbon Calculator had on customers since its 2023 launch?
It provides customers with more reliable emissions data, enabling better visibility, more accurate reporting, and informed decision-making about transportation choices and carbon footprints.
Ep 401: Geopost sustainability strategy
Q: Can you summarize Geopost's three-pillar approach to sustainability?
The three pillars are measuring emissions to understand baseline and progress, reducing emissions through targeted actions across fleet, infrastructure, and buildings, and building resilience to ensure continuity and preparedness amid evolving regulations and market conditions.
