When your customers expect stock on the same day every week, delivery stops being a one-off booking and becomes a routine that must never slip. Diqah Logistics designs scheduled delivery programs for retailers, distributors, restaurants, offices and project sites across Saudi Arabia: fixed routes, fixed time slots and one team accountable for every run. It is one of the services that make up our logistics services in KSA.
What scheduled delivery means
A scheduled delivery is a pre-agreed movement that repeats on a set day and time window, such as "every Sunday and Wednesday, 6–10 am, to 14 stores in Riyadh". Instead of booking each shipment, you agree the schedule once and adjust volumes as demand changes.
Types of scheduled delivery
| Program | Best for |
|---|---|
| Daily runs | Fast-moving FMCG, food-service supplies, pharmacies (ambient) |
| Weekly or twice-weekly runs | Retail store replenishment, dealer networks |
| Monthly or contract runs | Office supplies, spare parts, branch stock |
| Time-slot deliveries | Malls, hospitals and sites with strict receiving hours |
| Milk runs (multi-pickup) | Collecting from several suppliers into one warehouse |
| Project-phase deliveries | Construction and installation projects with staged material needs |
Why scheduled delivery saves money
- Better vehicle use. Planned runs fill vehicles more efficiently than ad hoc bookings.
- Lower stock levels. Reliable replenishment lets stores and sites carry less safety stock.
- Fewer failed deliveries. Receivers know when to expect the truck and staff the dock.
- Predictable costs. Fixed programs are easier to budget than spot rates.
How we build your delivery schedule
- Review demand. We look at order history, delivery points and receiving hours.
- Design routes and slots. Routes are planned around traffic patterns and receiving windows. See route planning and delivery support.
- Assign vehicles. Vehicle size is matched to each route's volume.
- Run and monitor. Each run is tracked, with exceptions reported the same day.
- Review monthly. We adjust frequency, routes and volumes as your business changes.
Scheduled delivery from our warehouse
The most reliable schedules start in the warehouse. When your stock is stored with Diqah, orders are picked and staged the day before each run, so trucks leave on time. Combine scheduled delivery with warehousing services in KSA, our Riyadh warehouse, and 3PL and e-commerce fulfillment.
Planning around Saudi working patterns
Good schedules reflect local realities: the Friday–Saturday weekend, shorter working hours during Ramadan, peak demand before Eid and during major sales such as White Friday, and summer heat that affects loading times. We plan these changes into your calendar in advance rather than reacting to them.
Coverage
Scheduled programs run within Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam–Khobar, and on regional routes across the Kingdom, planned within the rules of the Transport General Authority. For one-off movements, see local and regional transportation.
