Dexa is built around the order record. Clients create requests, riders act, admins monitor and finance follows the money trail without reconstructing the job from separate chats and spreadsheets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_to_test_during_a_software_trial\"><\/span>Questions to test during a software trial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Can each role see only the tools and records it needs?<\/li>\n<li>Can staff find the complete history of one order quickly?<\/li>\n<li>Are price, payment, receipt and proof linked rather than copied manually?<\/li>\n<li>Can a rider complete the required field workflow on mobile?<\/li>\n<li>Do reports answer the operational questions the owner actually asks?<\/li>\n<li>What onboarding, support and usage limits apply to the selected plan?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implementation_checklist_for_a_Kenyan_courier_team\"><\/span>Implementation checklist for a Kenyan courier team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start with a small real workflow. Define staff roles, import or create sample clients, enter realistic orders, assign riders, record payments and close deliveries with proof. Compare the system history with the team\u2019s current WhatsApp and spreadsheet process. The goal is not to add more data entry; it is to remove repeated entry and make responsibility visible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_product_boundary\"><\/span>Important product boundary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dexa records rider and business expenses alongside operational revenue.
