Courier Management System
Quick answer
What is the Courier Management System?
Zinen Courier Management System is designed for courier and last-mile delivery teams that need to know what was booked, where it is, who is carrying it and whether the recipient received it.
The solution brings parcel booking, tracking references, rider assignment, route planning, proof of delivery, delivery charges and cash-on-delivery reconciliation into one operational workflow. It gives dispatch teams a clearer view of work in transit and completed deliveries.
For Kenyan delivery operations, the platform can be configured around local dispatch patterns, customer notifications and digital payments while keeping branch, rider and performance information searchable for management.
