Unlocking faster confirmations, fewer missed deliveries, and smarter customer service with our new WhatsApp integration
The way we communicate is evolving. For many, WhatsApp has replaced email and even phone calls. In fact, over 2.7 billion people use WhatsApp monthly, and in business, it’s quickly becoming a preferred channel for real-time updates, confirmations, and customer support.
For courier, same-day, overnight, and mailroom operations, it’s not just about tracking – it’s about trust, speed, and clarity.
Why WhatsApp is Winning the Communication Race
WhatsApp Business has been steadily gaining traction in logistics, with major players like DHL and FedEx trialling chatbots for customer service and delivery updates. According to a Meta Business report, businesses using WhatsApp experience:
- 3x higher open rates than email
- Faster response times
- Greater customer satisfaction
In an industry where delays and confusion can cost clients, this matters.
1. A solution built for delivery teams, not just marketers
While other platforms use WhatsApp for promotions, our integration focuses on operational efficiency:
- Instant delivery notifications
- Automatic updates triggered by your existing workflows
Whether you’re delivering a passport overnight or managing 200 parcels in a corporate mailroom, the result is fewer failed deliveries, happier customers, and less admin.
2. A tool for every industry we serve
- Courier Companies: Reduce support calls with automated status updates. Enable real-time address clarification directly with recipients.
- Same-Day Operators: Eliminate the “where is my parcel” chaos. Your dispatchers can now notify clients the second a driver is en route.
- International Overnight: Improve trust and transparency across time zones with multilingual WhatsApp templates.
- Corporate Mailrooms: Let employees know when items are ready for collection without clogging inboxes.
Think of WhatsApp as the missing piece in your last-mile puzzle.
3. What we’ve seen so far (and what others are doing)
Early adopters report:
- Up to 30% drop in failed deliveries
- Significant time saved by front-line staff
- Happier clients, thanks to proactive updates
This mirrors industry findings shared by Supply Chain Dive: companies embracing real-time, chat-based communication are better equipped to meet customer expectations – especially in the age of Amazon.
