Delivery Mate is that solution. By focusing on the user experience, Delivery Mate offers a new way of looking at deliveries, whether the recipient is a householder, business or public body. Delivery Mate puts the recipient in control. It enhances the customer experience while reducing pollution and congestion. It improves business efficiency, enabling all businesses to compete on a level playing field, and provides service levels and choices to recipients that are not currently available through existing providers.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
