Porterchain vs. unmanaged same-day delivery
Unmanaged same-day delivery often means coordinating drivers or couriers manually, with little visibility until delivery is done. Porterchain offers managed same-day in our service areas: you set cut-offs and time windows, we handle capacity and execution, and you get status and ETAs in one dashboard. Same-day works alongside recurring routes so one partner covers both. This comparison focuses on what changes when same-day is managed end-to-end.

| Dimension | Porterchain | Unmanaged same-day workflows |
|---|---|---|
| Cut-offs and time windows | Agreed cut-offs and time windows. We align capacity so you know what’s possible and when. | Often ad hoc: you find out at run time whether you can hit a window. Harder to promise customers. |
| Visibility | Real-time status and ETAs. You and your customers see when to expect delivery. | Updates are often manual or after the fact. Less ability to inform customers or adjust plans. |
| Recurring + same-day | Recurring routes and same-day in one place. One partner, one process, one view. | Recurring and same-day are usually separate workflows. More coordination and more gaps. |
| Consistency | One process and one SLA. Same quality and visibility for every run. | Depends on who’s running each run. Quality and communication can vary. |
