Routes rebuilt every morning
Stops change daily and planning relies on the dispatcher's experience. Result: detours, overlapping zones between drivers and missed delivery windows.
the Quebec courier and parcel sector
Denser, better-controlled parcel routes
Route planning, proof of delivery, rush dispatch, subcontractors and order integration: Opsivia helps Quebec courier companies deliver with less friction.
You deliver parcels in Quebec: B2B courier, urban couriers, same-day delivery, e-commerce parcels, parts, pharmaceuticals or documents. Your profitability depends on stops per hour, proof-of-delivery quality and how fast an order moves from the customer to the driver. The courier companies we meet rarely lack commitment: they have a flow problem. Orders arrive by email, portal, file or phone; routes are rebuilt every morning; proofs of delivery are scattered; driver pay and invoicing are rebuilt by hand. Opsivia works on exactly these points, starting from your real operations.
Logistics challenges faced by companies in Montréal
Observed in the field with SMEs and large fleets across the Quebec courier and parcel sector.
2
Incomplete proofs of delivery
Illegible signature, missing photo, parcel left without a trace: every "never received" claim ties up customer service and sometimes ends in a credit for lack of proof.
3
Rush jobs and last-minute pickups
Inserting an urgent pickup into a route already on the road is done by phone, without seeing the impact on other stops or the driver's end time.
4
Orders re-keyed by hand
Emails, customer portals, spreadsheets, online stores: orders are copied into the dispatch software, then again into invoicing.
5
Complex driver and subcontractor pay
Employees, flat-rate drivers, subcontractors paid per parcel or per stop, surcharges and deductions: period-end reconciliation takes hours and creates errors.
6
Customers demanding real-time tracking
Shippers want a tracking link, a pre-delivery notification and proof available online. Without the right tool, these requests arrive by phone.

Why support designed for Quebec courier companies
- Quebec-specific conditions: winter, roadwork, difficult parking in downtown Montreal and Quebec City, distances between regions.
- A mixed workforce: employees, self-employed drivers and subcontractors, with pay rules that must be clearly documented.
- Teams that work in French: deliverables, training and documentation produced in French.
- An independent approach: we start from your operations before talking about software.
- Field-level contacts: we talk to dispatchers, sorters and drivers, not only to management.
The goal is not to add one more app, but to make the order, the route, the proof and the invoice flow through a single process.
Consulting for courier and parcel delivery companies in Quebec
Opsivia supports courier companies, urban courier services and distributors delivering their own parcels in Montreal, Quebec City and the regions. Our work focuses on what drives margin in this business: route density, reliable proof of delivery, fast order processing and accurate pay and invoicing.
Route density: the main last-mile lever
In parcel delivery, cost is calculated per stop. Every detour, every zone shared between two drivers and every return to the depot reduces stops per hour.
We analyze your actual routes from GPS data and delivery times: zone overlaps, depot time, isolated stops, departure times. These findings then guide the selection or configuration of a route optimization tool, not the other way around.
Proof of delivery: reducing disputes at the source
Useful proof of delivery includes a signature or photo, a GPS position and a time. Captured on mobile and sent automatically, it answers a claim in seconds and allows same-day invoicing.
We define rules with you by customer type (mandatory signature, drop photo, safe-place delivery) and check that they are actually applied in the field.
Integrating orders without re-keying
Orders often arrive through several channels. We connect online stores, customer portals, ERPs and shipping files to your dispatch software through API, EDI or automated import, then link confirmed deliveries to invoicing.
Each flow is documented so your team keeps control of the connections after the mandate.
Drivers, subcontractors and pay
Many courier companies combine employees, flat-rate drivers and subcontractors. We document pay rules, then automate calculation from deliveries actually made, to reduce errors and disputes at period end.
What you actually get
A written portrait of your order-delivery-invoicing cycle, showing where information is lost or re-entered.
A prioritized action plan, quantified from your data, separating quick wins from structural projects.
Support for tool selection and implementation, including dispatcher and driver training.
Frequently asked questions — Logistics consulting in Montréal
Do we need route optimization software to improve our routes?
Not necessarily at first. Zone design, departure times and planning rules often bring gains before any tool. Optimization software becomes relevant when stop volume and variability exceed what manual planning can absorb.
Do you sell courier software?
No. We help you choose, configure and connect the tools that fit your operations, and support you in comparing vendors.
Can you connect our online store or our customers' portal to our dispatch?
Yes, when the systems offer APIs, EDI or structured exports. We first validate each tool's capabilities, then design and document the flows.
How do we reduce "parcel not received" claims?
By standardizing proof of delivery (photo, signature, GPS position, time), sending it automatically to the customer and setting clear rules by delivery type.
Do you work with companies that use subcontractors?
Yes. We document pay rules and automate calculation from actual deliveries, whatever the driver's status.
How long does a diagnostic take?
It depends on the number of drivers, depots and systems in place. We set duration and scope with you before starting.
Do you work outside Montreal?
Yes, across Quebec: Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Quebec City and the regions. Immersion happens on site; the rest can be done remotely.
