About DoorDash
DoorDash is a leading organisation in the logistics & supply chain sector. Like most logistics & supply chain organisations at scale, they faced growing operational complexity — more volume, higher expectations, and a workforce stretched thin by routine but critical tasks.
The Problem
DoorDash's operations team managed millions of daily delivery exceptions — delays, address issues, restaurant problems — requiring human agents to read and respond to complex situational data under extreme time pressure.
How They Used Claude
Deployed Claude to triage incoming operations tickets, summarise complex multi-party situations, and draft resolution communications for agents. Claude also generates shift-end operational summaries and flags systemic issues from exception patterns.
Measurable Outcomes
- ✓ Agent handle time for complex exceptions reduced by 44%
- ✓ Operations ticket triage accuracy: 97%
- ✓ Systemic issue detection improved by 3x with pattern analysis
- ✓ Shift-end reporting time cut from 45 minutes to 8 minutes
"Claude understands the difference between a one-off issue and a systemic problem — that intelligence is invaluable in live operations."

Measure baseline metrics before deployment so ROI is unambiguous.
Executive sponsorship drives adoption; middle management drives usage.
Invest in training alongside technology — adoption is 80% people, 20% product.
