Descartes’ Home Delivery Solution Provides a Differentiated Customer Experience While Reducing Costs and Growing Revenue
Home delivery success starts during the buying process and ends after the goods are delivered. Descartes Home Delivery solution covers the end-to-end buyer journey. Through dynamic delivery appointment booking, retailers can offer customers significantly more delivery and value-added service options during the buying process but minimize delivery costs by steering customers to lower cost delivery options. The result is greater customer loyalty, revenue and profitability.
Descartes Home Delivery solution continues through the delivery process managing execution, proactively alerting exceptions and calculating ETA changes. The integrated real-time GPS-based mobile app communicates between the driver and dispatcher to track delivery progress and make route changes when exceptions occur. Proof-of-delivery (POD) and other critical stop-related data is electronically captured with the same app. A notifications engine uses data from delivery appointment through physical delivery to keep customers informed, help minimize failed deliveries and allow customers to rate their experience. Descartes helps to keep the delivery promise which is critical in creating a differentiated customer experience.
