Efficient last-mile delivery is the backbone of customer satisfaction in the building materials industry, especially when serving Canada’s diverse urban and rural markets. For businesses using Buildix ERP, harnessing data-driven performance reviews for delivery teams is a powerful way to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Why Data-Driven Reviews Matter
Traditional performance reviews often rely on anecdotal evidence or manual tracking, which can be inconsistent and subjective. Data-driven performance reviews leverage objective delivery metrics captured in real time, providing clear insights into individual and team performance.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery rates, route adherence, fuel efficiency, and customer feedback enable managers to make informed decisions about training needs, incentives, and process improvements.
