Managing couriers manually costs businesses far more than fuel and wages. When 23% of
customers abandon retailers after delivery issues and courier operations consume significant
operational resources, effective fleet management becomes critical for survival.
The Problems Destroying Courier Performance
• Manual courier assignment
Dispatchers juggle phone calls and spread sheets to assign jobs, creating delays while available couriers sit idle. Time spent coordinating could be used for performance management and strategic planning.
• Poor courier routing
Riders choosing their own paths or switching between apps waste time and fuel. Without optimized routes, couriers complete fewer deliveries per shift, reducing overall fleet productivity by 15-20%.
• Courier accountability gaps
No visibility into what couriers actually do in the field. Route deviations, extended breaks, and delivery shortcuts go unnoticed until customer complaints surface.
• Courier performance blindness
Tracking rider efficiency through manual reports and customer feedback misses both top performers and problem cases. High-achieving couriers go unrewarded while underperformers drain team productivity.
• Courier coordination failures
Multiple couriers arriving at the same pickup point, missed handoffs, and poor communication between riders and dispatch create operational chaos that compounds throughout the day.
