The last-mile delivery industry is booming, with global e-commerce sales projected to exceed $7.5 trillion by 2025. However, along with this explosive growth comes a host of challenges—particularly in ensuring reliable, efficient, and secure delivery operations. The backbone of last-mile logistics is the delivery driver, but the industry faces persistent issues that make managing and evaluating drivers a complex task.

Industry Problems in Driver Verification and Evaluation

The logistics and courier, express, and parcel (CEP) sectors grapple with several key issues related to driver management:

1. High Turnover Rates
   Delivery driver turnover rates can exceed 94% annually in some markets, making it difficult to maintain a stable workforce. With constant onboarding of new drivers, CEP service providers face challenges in ensuring quality and reliability.

2. Lack of Cross-Company Visibility
   Drivers often work for multiple companies, especially in the gig economy. Unfortunately, most companies operate in silos, lacking a unified system to verify drivers' identities and evaluate their performance across organizations. This leads to inefficiencies and potential security risks. Due to GDPR regulations, employers cannot see the fraudulent history of new drivers.

3. Fraud and Security Risks
   Inadequate identity verification processes can result in fraudulent activities, including stolen packages or misrepresented delivery statuses. According to a 2023 report, 84% of fraud-related claims involve criminals impersonating legitimate carriers and drivers using falsified documents.

4. Inconsistent Driver Performance Evaluation
   Without standardized cross-company evaluation tools, driver performance assessments are often subjective or incomplete. This inconsistency hinders efforts to recognize and retain high-performing drivers while identifying underperforming ones.

5. Erosion of Customer Trust
   Delivery delays, poor handling of goods, and unreliable drivers erode customer trust. In fact, nearly 80% of consumers won’t buy again after a bad post-purchase experience, making driver quality directly tied to customer satisfaction and retention.
