3. Provide real-time and periodic visibility into delivery performance, fleet health, customer satisfaction, and financial metrics for corporate delivery service environments.

4. Standardize reporting automation intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly), automating custom dashboards and bespoke KPI export per management preferences.

Trigger Conditions

1. Time-based schedule (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly cron automation).

2. Completion of defined operational cycles or EOD (end of day) automated triggers.

3. On-demand trigger via management request or admin portal action, automatable by authorized users.
