The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at,
and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.
On-Time Delivery (OTD) Rate for Assigned Routes
This measures the percentage of deliveries on the routes you're helping to manage that arrive within their scheduled window.
Target · Maintain >98% OTD for your assigned routesIf you're helping with 50 deliveries on a given day, and 49 arrive on time, that's a 98% OTD rate. We want to see you consistently hitting this.
Successful First Attempt Rate
This tracks how often a delivery is completed on the first try, without needing a second attempt or being returned to the depot.
Target · Achieve a 97% successful first attempt rateOut of 100 deliveries you're monitoring, only 3 needed a second attempt or failed completely. This shows good initial information and quick problem-solving.
Data Entry Accuracy & Completeness
This looks at how accurately you log details like delivery exceptions, driver check-ins, and return reasons into our systems.
Target · Less than 1% error rate on data entryIf you process 200 delivery exceptions in a month, we'd expect no more than 2 to have incorrect codes or missing notes. Clean data is crucial.
Response Time to Driver Queries
How quickly you respond to drivers' calls or messages when they need help or information.
Target · Average response time under 5 minutesA driver calls about a tricky address, and you get back to them with the right information within 3 minutes. That keeps them moving.
Adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Are you following the established steps for dispatching, exception handling, and driver communication? This is about consistency and learning the ropes.
- Your team lead will notice if you're consistently using the correct 'failed attempt codes' or if you're missing steps in the driver check-out process. They'll give you feedback in your weekly catch-ups. We'll see it in the quality of your notes and how smoothly your assigned routes run.
Proactive Communication & Escalation
This means recognising when a problem is bigger than you can handle and bringing it to your supervisor's attention *before* it becomes a crisis. It's also about keeping drivers and relevant internal teams in the loop.
- You'll be praised for spotting a potential delay with a VIP customer and flagging it to your lead early. Or, if a driver has a serious issue, you'll immediately get your supervisor involved. We'll see fewer unexpected 'fires' on your watch, and your team lead won't be blindsided by issues.
Learning Agility & Feedback Incorporation
How quickly you pick up new processes, understand our systems, and apply feedback from your colleagues and manager.
- You'll show this by making fewer repeat mistakes, asking thoughtful questions, and actively participating in training sessions. Your supervisor will notice if you're genuinely trying to improve based on their advice, rather than just nodding along.
Team Collaboration & Support
How well you work with your immediate team, offering help when needed and contributing to a positive atmosphere.
- This isn't about being a 'team player' in a vague sense. It's about offering to help a colleague during a busy period, sharing useful information you picked up, or being reliable when someone needs to cover your tasks. Your colleagues will tell us you're easy to work with and pull your weight.
