In this blog, we will explore how order tracking helps with delivery management for e-commerce businesses and how nShift is enhancing the role of tracking in its software. 

Real-time tracking and visibility 

Real-time parcel tracking and visibility are essential for e-commerce businesses. They provide businesses with up-to-date information on the location and status of deliveries, allowing them to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. nShift offers real-time tracking and visibility of deliveries, allowing e-commerce businesses to monitor the progress of their deliveries in real-time. 

According to a report by Accenture, 83% of consumers expect real-time delivery updates on the status of their orders. Real-time updates provide several benefits for e-commerce businesses and customers. They enable businesses to identify delays or issues that may impact delivery times and take corrective action. They also allow customers to track their deliveries and receive updates on the status of their orders, which can help reduce customer inquiries and complaints. 

Minimising WISMO calls 

WISMO (Where Is My Order) calls are a common issue for e-commerce businesses. There are calls from customers inquiring about the status of their orders, which can be time-consuming for businesses to manage. nShift offers features for proactive exception management and timely issue resolution, which can help minimize WISMO calls.

Customer communication and self-service  

Effective customer communication is essential for e-commerce businesses. nShift offers delivery tracking software for delivery notifications, rescheduling, and branded tracking pages, enabling businesses to communicate effectively with their customers. These features also provide customers with self-service options, allowing them to track their deliveries and make changes to their delivery schedules as needed. 

According to a report by EY, 56% of consumers prefer self-service options for tracking their orders. Effective customer communication and self-service options can help reduce customer inquiries and complaints, improving customer satisfaction.
