Customer Feedback Score<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This score reflects how customers rate their delivery experience, usually on a 1 to 5 scale. Scores above 4.5 indicate strong service quality. It considers factors like delivery time, driver behavior, package condition, and ease of communication. Tracking this helps logistics teams improve service by responding quickly to complaints and adjusting procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Vehicle_Utilization_Rate\"><\/span>5. Vehicle Utilization Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This metric evaluates how effectively delivery vehicles are used.
