Operations automation

Delivery Status Updates

Connects to courier and logistics systems and sends customers branded updates by SMS, WhatsApp or email when an order ships, is out for delivery, delivered or delayed, with a tracking link.

The business problem

Customers want to know where their order is, and without proactive updates they call or message support. Manual updates are slow and inconsistent. Delays discovered late frustrate customers.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Answer 'where is my order' calls
  2. Look up tracking numbers on courier websites
  3. Send update messages by hand
  4. Inform customers of delays after they complain
