It’s more than just delivery. It’s exceptions management. It’s carrier/courier management — and that’s a big one, because our shippers and retailers don’t have to go out and find carriers and couriers and onboard them. And if you have a quality issue in one of the markets your carriers are in, that requires a conversation. So we’re taking a Customer Success approach to managing supply.
