Cash on Delivery Creates Operational Risk
Drivers collect cash manually. Cash handling creates complexity and leakage.
COD creates risk when collection, confirmation, settlement and the physical delivery record cannot be reconciled through one traceable workflow.
Use this as a starting point for diagnosis. The observations below stay within the canonical problem record and do not claim an additional root cause.
