  • I identified pain points in the operation by monitoring the performance of the courier operation daily
  • I have determined various actions that can be taken to eliminate these pain points, such as route optimization and changing the configs in the courier assignment algorithm
  • To increase customer satisfaction, I carried out a project on tagging courier comments
  • At first, customer comments were read and tagged individually, so it was a long-lasting manual job
  • To make this study more efficient, I automated the process by matching the tags I prepared with various keywords in the comments and made my analysis accordingly
  • To better understand customers' comments and analyze the results, we made an improvement that will allow customers to choose from the tags we have prepared instead of having them write comments
