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.
- Restaurant has no visibility into what happened during delivery.
- Restaurant can't identify if courier, traffic, or other issue.
- No way to rate or track individual courier performance.
- 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.
