The courier industry is an integral part of the economy and provides the last minute delivery and supply that has become our nature.  Many industries rely on same day or less than 24-hours delivery for vital supplies or sensitive items.  Delivery of important documents and packages is what distinguishes courier services from other types of delivery services.  For this reason, courier workers require a mobile solution they can rely on to satisfy their customers.
