Lead a team of delivery associates / riders / frontline delivery personnel, assign tasks, monitor their performance, motivate them, and guide them to meet targets.

Track key metrics like turnaround time (TAT), delivery success rates, efficiency, and quality standards — and take corrective actions when goals are not met.

✔ Route & Workflow Optimization
Help with planning delivery routes, managing shipment allocation, and optimizing workflows to improve operational productivity.

Issue Resolution
Resolve on-ground operational challenges or customer concerns related to late, failed, or problematic deliveries.
