Customer service is made easier with communicative delivery platforms
Trend - B2B delivery platforms are prioritizing communication to enhance the delivery process for businesses and their customers. This approach ensures frequent updates and quick responses using both automation and reps--balancing efficiency with a more "human" approach to customer service.
Insight - Automation in retail has created a host of opportunities, but it's also impacted how customer service operates. Consumers are likely to have efficient shopping experiences, but it's now more challenging for them to effectively communicate with large retailers when problems do arise--particularly when third parties like delivery services are involved. Prioritizing the customer experience past the point of sale and into the final steps of delivery helps businesses build brand loyalty.
