During the daily 6am truck loading, AllFasteners USA LLC was once consumed by piles of paperwork and a scramble to match orders with drivers bound for constructions sites across New York City. The dispatcher could easily become overwhelmed. But after adopting GetSwift’s SaaS platform two years ago to handle last-mile delivery logistics, the company has been able to focus on growth. 

“GetSwift allows the dispatcher to handle much more,” says Vern McGregor, Branch Manager, New York and New Jersey, at AllFasteners. “We were able to expand delivery capacity by 60% a day.” 

“GetSwift’s Saas Platform Helped Us Grow 25% with One Less Worry”

AllFasteners supplies construction sites with a range of fastening equipment from nuts to bolts to drill bits, often on a last-minute basis. With some customers working on high-profile projects such Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side, demands are urgent and hard to predict. That creates a need for careful organization of orders on its fleet of delivery trucks that’s cumbersome and fraught with human error when handled manually. 

“Our branch was up 15% last year and sales are 25% higher so far this year,” Mr. McGregor says. “GetSwift gives us one less thing to worry about.”

One feature that stood out from the competition was the ability for a dispatcher to track orders once they were on their way. “We had used another platform but the tracking capability just didn’t work as well,” he says. “It would get stuck.”

On the delivery end, GetSwift also makes it easier for drivers to find the right person on hectic construction sites. “The driver will have a phone number right inside the GetSwift app to call or text,” he says. “It’s really important to reach the right person when you arrive.”

AllFasteners uses GetSwift in New York City along with other locations across the country, including Ohio, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis.
