Why This Matters

What It Is

Real-time courier performance monitoring with automated escalation reducing late deliveries by 40-60% and improving customer satisfaction through proactive issue resolution.

Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Customer complains food arrived cold and 45 minutes late.

  1. Restaurant has no visibility into what happened during delivery.
  2. Restaurant can't identify if courier, traffic, or other issue.
  3. No way to rate or track individual courier performance.
  4. Same courier assigned to future orders despite poor performance.

Characteristics

  • POS Systems (e.g., Toast, Square)
  • Aggregator Dashboards (e.g., DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub)
  • Spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets)
  • Email for communication
  • ERP Systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle)
  • Custom Internal Tools

Pain Points

  • Data Silos: Fragmented data across different platforms.
  • Manual Effort: Time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry and reporting.
  • Lack of Real-Time Insights: Delayed corrective actions due to lack of real-time tracking.
  • Inconsistent Metrics: Difficulty in benchmarking due to varying KPIs across aggregators.
  • Limited Visibility: Insufficient insight into delivery partner behavior.
  • Scalability Issues: Manual processes struggle to scale with increased order volume.
  • Delayed Feedback: Retrospective feedback rather than proactive management.
  • High error rates in data accuracy due to manual processes.
  • Limited integration capabilities between systems, leading to inefficiencies.

Future State

(Agentic)

1. Tracking Agent monitors delivery in real-time: courier assignment, pickup time, GPS location, estimated delivery time. 2. Performance Metrics tracks each courier: on-time rate, customer ratings, average delivery time. 3. Delay Detection alerts when courier off-route or delayed: 'Courier has been stationary 15 min, order at risk'. 4. Auto-Escalation triggers support contact to customer: 'We see your order is delayed, investigating now'. 5. Courier Rating enables restaurant to flag poor performers for platform review.

Characteristics

  • Real-time courier GPS location
  • Pickup and delivery timestamps
  • Estimated vs actual delivery times
  • Courier ID and assignment history
  • Customer delivery ratings and feedback
  • Route optimization and traffic data
  • Order temperature/quality issues
  • Platform courier performance metrics

Benefits

  • 40-60% late delivery reduction through monitoring and escalation
  • Real-time visibility prevents customer surprises
  • Courier performance tracking improves quality
  • Proactive communication when issues detected
  • Data to advocate with platforms for courier accountability
  • Higher customer satisfaction and retention
