Additionally, optimising the delivery process involves selecting cost-effective partners and using route optimisation software to improve efficiency. Real-time tracking and incentive programs encourage timely deliveries. Enhancing safety measures includes contactless deliveries and ongoing staff training, ensuring compliance with health protocols and providing customers with safety assurances.
