6. Diversified delivery options:
To meet the needs of different customers, provide a variety of delivery options, such as ordinary delivery, emergency delivery, tracking delivery, etc.
7. Regular logistics data analysis:
Periodically analyze logistics data to understand the bottlenecks and problems of logistics operations, adjust operational strategies in a timely manner, and improve efficiency.
