Start with customer and destination details, create the order, assign a rider, update its progress, attach proof of delivery, record payment, and produce the final receipt or report. Every stage should retain the same order reference and history.<\/p>\n<p>Then test an exception. Ask how dispatch handles reassignment, a failed delivery attempt, a changed destination, a payment difference, or missing proof. Courier operations are defined as much by exceptions as by successful trips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capabilities_courier_teams_should_evaluate\"><\/span>Capabilities courier teams should evaluate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Order intake:<\/strong> Capture customer, pickup, destination, contact, pricing, payment, and special instructions consistently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dispatch:<\/strong> Assign or reassign work while keeping the responsible rider and current status clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rider accountability:<\/strong> Give drivers the order context they need and preserve their delivery actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer updates:<\/strong> Keep customers informed without forcing staff to answer every status request manually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proof of delivery:<\/strong> Store the evidence needed to close an order and resolve a dispute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payments and expenses:<\/strong> Connect collections and delivery costs to the relevant order.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting:<\/strong> Review order volume, active riders, collections, delivery performance, and exceptions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Independent_drivers_and_courier_companies_need_different_tools\"><\/span>Independent drivers and courier companies need different tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An independent driver may need a professional customer channel, repeat-booking workflow, and a clear record of completed work. A courier company needs broader dispatch, staff access, client accounts, order limits, reports, and potentially API access. Confirm which operating model the software supports before comparing price.<\/p>\n<p>For a growing courier, ask how user, rider, branch, client, and order limits change between plans. Also clarify whether M-Pesa, SMS, WhatsApp, custom domains, data migration, or implementation support create additional charges.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_Dexa_Courier_plans_and_evidence\"><\/span>Review Dexa Courier plans and evidence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zamacore.com\/platforms\/dexa\">Dexa<\/a> provides focused products for drivers and courier teams.
