Why a tracking portal
Delivery tracking has become a standard. The recipient wants to know, without calling, where their order is. A tracking portal meets this need and, in doing so, relieves customer service: according to industry analyses, proactive information cuts WISMO ("where is my order?") contacts by around 40 to 80%.
The essential building blocks
- A clear, up-to-date status: received, en route, delivered, with time-stamp;
- An arrival window rather than false minute-level precision;
- Real-time tracking when delivery is imminent;
- Proof of delivery (signature, photo) viewable at the end;
- Delivery options: home, pick-up point, locker.
Offering out-of-home
A good portal doesn't just show: it lets you act. Offering a choice of pick-up channel meets a strong expectation — according to industry data, 44% of European shoppers choose out-of-home when offered. Letting the customer choose cuts failures and raises satisfaction.
Integration with dispatch
A portal only has value if it reflects field reality in real time. So it must be fed directly by the dispatch system: route status, position, proof. dropfleet links the customer portal to the dispatch console, for faithful tracking with no double entry.
