Maybe your grandmother goes off-roading in Hummers, snorkeling with sharks, hiking to the edge of active lava flows, and horseback riding on cattle ranches, but mine doesn’t. At least she didn’t before she went on some amazing Hawaii tours with me. Touring in Hawaii today is not the tours of yesterday. Gone are the days spent riding a bus to Hilo Hatties and weaving baskets out of Hala leaves. Not that these activities don’t have some merit and fun involved. But today’s Hawaii tours are all about extreme adventure, extreme excitement, and extreme fun.

Today on the island of Oahu you can get picked up from your hotel in a Hummer and travel about an hour north of Honolulu to Kualoa Ranch. The 4000 acres of Kualoa were once the domicile of kings, and this land is considered to be some of the most hallowed and sacred acreage in Oahu.

The scenery looks like something out of a movie set, and in fact many movies and television shows were shot on this location. Jurassic Park and Lost were both filmed here and indeed some of the land is so rugged and remote that you half expect to see a T-Rex appear in the rear view mirror of your off-road vehicle. Kualoa Ranch can also be toured in all terrain vehicles and horseback

If water excitement is more your thing, then swimming and snorkeling with sharks might be just the thrill you’re looking for. Be prepared to travel by boat three miles out from the famous North Shore in Oahu and get ready to step into a cage made of steel bars and insulated glass.

In this cage you will be eyeball to eyeball with Sandbar or Galapagos sharks that stretch three times the length of your average grandmother. It is extreme excitement without the real danger. Swimming, snorkeling and diving next to these awesome creatures is without parallel.

Undeniably, the most crucial role of a company following the production is the distribution and logistics of the final goods so that they reach the end consumers at the right time. Clearly, logistics and delivery both have an unmatched role to play in the performance of the business. Hence, a steadfast and seamless mechanism for your goods distribution will ensure that your customers are satisfied with you. While the system of logistics and distribution varies with companies depending on the kind of products they deal in, optimizing it means following some discrete approach. However, here are discussed some easy and tacit ways to simplify distribution operations to make sure customers get a satisfying service.

Resource efficient packaging

Most of the times, courier and delivery services companies deploy a uniform packaging system, irrespective of what they are distributing. Many times, we see a simple consumer good, which is not as fragile as an electronic item, arriving with layers of packaging. So, you need to make sure that your packaging do not become excessive and as per the product nature from you logistics service provider. This way not only wastes will be reduced but also the costs of packing.

Bring forth new delivery options

Just not the products but there are many things that matter in delivery like the weight, dimension, nature or type of product, or whether it needs cold storage. While all this have a huge impact on the customers’ satisfaction and state of the product when it will arrive at them, you need to find out whether you own delivery system have options to take care of all the aspects well.

Turning on automated processes for delivery

Another way you can assure that your delivery systems are fulfilling all expectations of customers is automation. Tracking of delivery route, time and vehicles/driver details, will help customers relax back while their orders are out for delivery. This further reduces the random calls and inquiries from the customers regarding their products.

Picking a logistics and delivery partner

The most befitting way to streamline your logistics and delivery mechanism is joining hands with a full-fledged delivery and courier services company who will help you through and out. From special handling of the products to warehousing management, products packaging to dispatch, doorstep deliveries to customers services, they will be in charge of all.

You need to realize that the logistics role is hard and it is that significant part of your business, which can hold back your customers providing them right delivery facilities. Whichever business you are into, just make sure your logistics support is well optimized and automated to get your products aptly to your end customers.
