Parcel delivery company
transforms customer
experience

Being the leading provider of parcel delivery services in Europe, the company operates a unique, high-capacity transport network with more than 500 depots in more than 30 countries.

The client was looking to evolve their customer experience by introducing a more flexible and simpler, technology-driven approach to parcel delivery.

CHALLENGES

Wishing to set a new standard of excellence in parcel delivery, the company faced several challenges

The legacy web infrastructure didn’t allow for the support of a high-capacity, growing shipment network across the UK, limiting the company’s ability to expand.
The user interface for shipping an order was complicated, impacting the checkout completion rate and repeat purchase rate.
Employee productivity was limited by the necessity to process the data manually, resulting in significant routine operating expenses.

The company asked us to do just that – transform the way customers interact with their system.

Only 4 months to design and launch a new user journey, and our team

Built a new scalable, cloud-based infrastructure which brought up new opportunities for expansion with greater network agility.
Designed a personal customer application to make the entire shipping process easier, allowing users to track and rearrange deliveries, save personal shipping preferences for future orders, and much more.
Implemented automated data processing, resulting in a significant increase in employee productivity.

Digital Warehousing System

Through Big Data, Process Automation and IoT, the client’s warehousing legacy system was modernized and is now able to rapidly evolve in the face of disruptive new technologies.

Customer
self-service

The applications features included a customer admin panel, the ability to create shipments, and print labels. The system also enables managers to view data collected from the WMS (warehouse management systems) as well as from material handling equipment, and match it against order records.

Smart customs
clearance

The system automatically generates an International Electronic Invoice which includes all the necessary information based on the law of the state-recipient. It is possible to print all product info for international orders on relevant customs forms, including CN22 forms for items being exported from the EU. Thus, the customs check of the goods is running much faster.

AI-based
Customer Care

The customer support manager receives a request from the user, and by using tags, the system automatically retrieves the relevant answer based on the FAQ information.

Route & freight
optimization

AI technology integrated into delivery modules optimized routes based on environmental, traffic, and vehicle/staff availability data, reducing the last mile costs, fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions.
