	+ Rapid delivery solutions (within\-the\-hour and same\-day).
	+ Domestic and cross\-border airline freight solutions.
* Manage B2B, B2C, 3PL, e\-commerce and cross\-border distribution channels, balancing competing service requirements across retail, corporate, reseller and consumer demand.
* Continuously evaluate and improve network performance to enhance speed, cost, reliability and operational efficiency.
* Provide end\-to\-end visibility of deliveries, with proactive management of deliveries — as well as a customer versus internal view of “where is my order”.
* Manage courier partnerships:
* + Costs \& SLAs
	+ Service types
	+ Partner evaluation \& selection
	+ Modes: Air vs Road
	+ Technology and integration readiness
	+ Risk

**Performance \& Service Excellence**

* Define, manage and continuously improve Service Level Agreements (SLAs), delivery cut\-off times and operational performance.
* Measure courier performance through on\-time delivery, first\-time delivery, service compliance, exception management and operational reporting.
* Drive continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen customer experience and operational excellence.
* Manage and track losses, shrinkage and claims per courier partner, and drive corrective action.

**Commercial \& Cost Optimisation**

* Manage and approve all distribution\-related expenditure against budget.
* Build and maintain cost\-to\-serve models across delivery channels, regions, service levels and product groups.
* Identify and implement cost optimisation initiatives without compromising security, service quality or customer experience.
