From the user Borisbot

HR sends the new driver a bot link by email or QR code during paperwork. The driver opens the bot in Telegram or WhatsApp and instantly receives a structured 14-day onboarding plan. Week one covers company processes, the courier app, routes, and order handling rules. Week two focuses on independent deliveries, handling edge cases, and customer communication. The AI assistant answers policy questions around the clock, and on day 7 and day 14 the bot automatically sends a pulse survey. The manager sees each driver's progress in a shared dashboard.

Why it works

🎯 Drivers are ready for their first solo shift faster — routes, the app, and policies are structured into a ready-made plan from day one

🤖 AI role-play simulates tricky customer situations — without the risk of losing a real order or getting a complaint

📦 Policies and instructions always at hand — drivers don't call dispatch for routine questions

⚡ Dispatchers freed from manual onboarding — the bot guides each new hire step by step and flags delays automatically

Key metrics

🏆 First solo shift in 6 days — instead of 2-3 weeks with traditional in-person induction

⏱ -50% load on dispatchers — no more explaining the basics to every new driver manually

📊 100% of new drivers know policies and the app from day one — one standard across the whole team

🔁 -35% early turnover — drivers feel structure and support from their very first day

Who it's for

Shown here for a delivery company — adapts to any business with a courier team:

• Courier and logistics companies

• Express delivery services (FedEx, UPS, DHL)

• Grocery and retail chains with own delivery

• Aggregators and marketplaces (Amazon, DoorDash, Uber Eats)

• Restaurants and food services with delivery

How it works

HR sends the new driver a bot link by email or QR code during paperwork. The driver opens the bot in Telegram or WhatsApp and instantly receives a 14-day onboarding plan. The bot guides them step by step: week one covers processes, the app, and routes; week two focuses on independent deliveries and handling tricky situations.
From day one, the driver knows what to do and who to contact — no stack of paper manuals or hours of induction.
Each day, the bot sends the next task from the onboarding plan: what to study, what to complete in the app, what to mark as done.
If a driver has a question, the AI assistant answers based on company policies, delivery rules, and the app — no calls to dispatch or a mentor.
In week two, the bot offers a practice run before a complex route: AI plays a difficult customer and runs a role-play dialogue. The driver practices refused packages, no-answer calls, and rescheduled deliveries — the bot reviews each response.
On day 7 and day 14, the bot automatically sends a pulse survey. The manager learns about issues before the driver starts looking for another job.
If a driver does not complete a task on time, the bot automatically sends a reminder — no manual follow-up from dispatch or HR.
While drivers go through onboarding, the manager sees each person's progress in a shared dashboard: stage, tasks completed, and test results.
The template comes with a ready-made 14-day delivery driver onboarding plan — tasks load automatically, you just need to adapt them to your routes and processes.

FAQ

Can I use my own onboarding plan?

Yes. The template already includes a pre-filled 14-day plan — use it as-is or replace it entirely with your own. Add tasks, change timelines, and edit text in the BuddyBot builder — no coding required.

Does the bot work for drivers without a smartphone?

The bot works in Telegram and WhatsApp — any device with a messenger app is fine. If the driver uses a company phone, the bot can be launched via QR code right when the device is handed over.

How many drivers can onboard at the same time?

Unlimited. The bot guides each driver through their individual plan simultaneously — the number of parallel participants does not affect performance.

How does the manager track progress?

In the BuddyBot dashboard: each employee shows their stage, completed tasks, and quiz results. Excel export is available at any time.
