With the surge of e-commerce and on-demand services across Africa, delivery expectations have never been higher. Yet, despite investing in motorbikes, mobile apps, and fleet tools, one crucial element is often overlooked: the people doing the work.
From late deliveries to poor customer service, the root cause of failure in most delivery teams is not infrastructure—it's inadequate training.
1. Lack of Standardized Onboarding
Too many delivery riders are recruited quickly with little to no training. They’re sent out with basic instructions and no understanding of safety, customer etiquette, or company protocols. This leads to inconsistency, errors, and safety risks.
2. Poor Communication & Soft Skills
When a rider doesn’t know how to handle a delayed delivery, a frustrated customer, or a roadside issue, your brand takes the hit. Managers, too, often lack people management skills to coach their teams effectively.
3. Low Accountability
Without tools to track progress, provide feedback, or monitor service quality, delivery teams operate in a vacuum. Poor performers slip through the cracks, and high achievers go unrecognized.
4. No Culture of Continuous Learning
For many, delivery is a ‘hustle,’ not a career. With no access to upskilling or recognition, riders lack motivation, and high turnover becomes the norm.
PushMobile Technology created TRAQA, a mobile-first LMS designed specifically for Africa’s last-mile workforce. Here’s how it changes the game:
✅ Smarter Onboarding
Riders and managers can complete essential training modules on customer service, professionalism, and safety—all in bite-sized lessons that fit their day.
✅ Soft Skills That Stick
Gamified micro-courses on conflict resolution, hygiene, and etiquette keep users engaged and build essential frontline confidence.
✅ Real-Time Performance Tracking
Delivery supervisors access dashboards to monitor team learning, flag issues early, and coach underperforming riders.
✅ Continuous, On-the-Job Learning
With low-data offline functionality, TRAQA enables learning on the move—turning each delivery shift into a learning opportunity.
A delivery fleet in Lagos piloting TRAQA saw a 35% drop in customer complaints within just 6 weeks. Riders reported feeling more confident, and supervisors were better equipped to support and retain talent.
The future of last-mile logistics isn’t just about faster deliveries—it’s about smarter people. Training builds trust, boosts retention, and ensures every rider becomes a brand ambassador.
