The real-time tracking solution Better Tracking lets drivers and consignees take control of their time. Real-time visibility, interactive package tracking, and accurate ETAs mean deliveries happen more seamlessly, and the door is already open when the driver arrives. It consists of two teams:
The Data Solutions team:
Creates data pipelines for Machine Learning models, Decision Trees, and other prediction models for analytics and AI-powered solutions.
The Tracking team:
Creates exciting and engaging UX to enable consignees to influence their delivery experience and reduce the communication gap between the driver and consignee.
