This motivated the sales team, which led to a 15% growth in revenue annually. 4- Rerouted all deliveries to more efficient time saving routes which avoided “bad roads” and improved the conditions of delivery vehicles. This supported annual sales growth and managed an increase in deliveries without the need for new vehicles and drivers. 5- Introduced activity based costing, allowing the organisation to minimise and eliminate high cost activities resulting in lower prices and increased customer loyalty.
