Courier & delivery services — Automation for courier services
Dispatch answers order calls while juggling drivers, types in delivery orders from emails and texts, and matches paper receipts to jobs by hand. These are the parts software can take over, with dispatchers still deciding which driver takes a rush job and how to handle a missed pickup or claim. 40 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for courier & delivery services.
