Due to changes in buyer behaviour and the use of online sales channels for more types of products, on an ever increasing scale, the logistics processes gain strategic importance for retailers and the relations between brand and customers. Operational excellency, delivery solutions diversification, total transparency and continuous communication along the entire purchasing journey are decisive factors for online sales success and customer loyalty.
The two communication media offer their respective advantages. While e-mail allows for rich formatting and a more complex information structure, SMS increases efficiency and provides access to population segments with lower technological endowment, or on the move. 99% of SMS messages received by customers are opened, and 90% of them are read in the first 3 minutes after they are delivered. Through SMS, uni- and bi-directional communication becomes faster and more fluent.
The integrated SMS / e-mail communication system available within the Postis Platform is used to notify customers on their delivery status, from the moment the order is placed until the parcel reaches its destination. Customer communication can be continued after delivery through feedback forms and customer surveys, after every delivery. More, the system allows for customized offers to be advertised, right in the customers’ mobile. In this way, full visibility over delivery is provided to customers, and their feedback is always taken into consideration for improvement and optimization.
Our platform has been built to offer IT infrastructure and expertise needed to disrupt and transform retail, logistics and transportation sectors, in order to achieve operational excellency and to create differentiating purchasing experiences. This is why we created the Postis Community, where we collaborate with our clients, with all significant players from Romania or abroad and with best digital tech providers, and together we create new industry standards to help the whole market to grow. I am glad to announce today our partnership with SendSMS, who bring to our platform top-notch technology and their rich experience in customer communication.
