Delivery Tracking for Retail & E-commerce
Transform your retail & e-commerce delivery tracking with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our retail & e-commerce clients achieve with delivery tracking.
Proactive delivery updates at every milestone have halved the number of "where is my order" inquiries received by the customer service team.
Automated alerts for delivery exceptions mean the customer service team can proactively contact customers before they even realise there is an issue.
Automated review requests sent immediately after confirmed delivery capture customer feedback when satisfaction is highest.
The Challenge
Common delivery tracking challenges facing retail & e-commerce businesses.
Customer service team overwhelmed by delivery status inquiries because customers have no visibility of where their order is after dispatch
Delivery exceptions such as failed attempts and incorrect addresses discovered days after they occur, by which time the customer is already frustrated
Returns process so complicated that customers resort to chargebacks rather than following the official returns procedure
No connection between delivery confirmation and review solicitation, missing the optimal window to capture positive customer feedback
Implementation
How we implement delivery tracking for your retail & e-commerce business.
Order Fulfilment and Dispatch Notification
When customer orders are picked, packed, and dispatched, the system automatically captures carrier tracking details and sends branded shipment notification emails with tracking links and estimated delivery dates.
- ✓ Tools: Shopify, Make, Gmail
In-Transit Status Monitoring
Shipments are monitored throughout transit with automated customer updates at key milestones such as out for delivery, delivery attempted, and signature required notifications.
- ✓ Tools: Make, Australia Post APIs, Google Sheets
Delivery Confirmation and Exception Handling
Successful deliveries trigger automated review request emails, while delivery exceptions such as failed attempts, returns to sender, or address issues generate immediate customer service team alerts for resolution.
- ✓ Tools: Make, Shopify, Slack
Returns and Exchange Initiation
Customers who need to return items can initiate the process through a self-service portal that generates return shipping labels, updates inventory forecasts, and creates exchange orders for size or colour swaps.
