How to set up simple delivery tracking for your teams?

In order to efficiently manage the activity of your company or your e-commerce website, it is important to track the status of each delivery in a simple and efficient way. This will ensure that orders are delivered on time and that customers are satisfied. It can also help your teams solve any problems that may arise during the transportation of goods as quickly as possible. 

In this article, we will present you 3 reasons to track your deliveries and all our tips to implement it!

Why set up a tracking system for deliveries?   

1. Improve the customer experience

Implementing a tracking system for deliveries improves the customer experience in several ways. First, your customers know in real time the status of their delivery and when they will receive their order. If there is a problem or a delay in delivery, you can anticipate and quickly notify them of the situation. They can then make the necessary arrangements. This gives them better visibility and reassures them that their order will arrive safely. 

2. Build customer loyalty

Showing customers that you take their satisfaction seriously and do everything you can to ensure a positive shopping experience will give them confidence that their order will arrive on time and that any problems will be resolved quickly. This will increase their trust in your company.

By keeping them informed of the status of their delivery in real-time, with personalized customer tracking pages in your brand's colors and email or SMS communications on your behalf detailing the contents of the parcel and its progress, your customers will maintain a special connection with your brand. This seamless delivery experience will encourage them to place future orders.

3. Reduce the workload of the After-Sales Service 

Thanks to an efficient tracking system, customers are informed in real time of the status of their delivery and can identify a delay and the reason for it without having to contact your After-Sales teams. As a result, the number of returns and complaints is reduced and the workload of your representatives is lightened. In particular, we have observed a 35% decrease in calls related to delivery tracking in customer services departments equipped with our tracking system.

In turn, by having access to accurate information about the status of each delivery, your After-Sales teams can respond more quickly to customer questions and inquiries, reducing the time it takes to process each request.
