Customized Text Messages Have Arrived, and More

Missed deliveries cost courier companies millions every year in backtracking and fuel to redeliver.

But how do you reduce the chance of missed delivery?

• Create customized text messages and emails
• Choose to send SMS, email, or both

Keep your customers in the know with customized text messages, and more

After a driver starts their route, your customer will get a customized text message and/or an email with general delivery info. This includes an estimated delivery time and a link to our live tracking site so that they can track its progress. ��

Suppose a courier attempts to deliver the package. In that case, your customer will get a second message telling them whether the delivery was successful or not – along with any other details they need.

Personalize customer emails, texts, or both. In any language

In addition, you can now customize every aspect of the messages that you want your customers to get so that they are optimized for your business and personalized for customers.

• Change the wording of the message to fit your customers in minutes.
• Add dynamic data, such as your customer’s or driver’s name; and
• choose any language you want – to give a completely personalized customer experience.

Driving it home

Customers want to know when their deliveries will arrive. As a delivery service, you can give that excellent customer experience by sending them the right type of message, at the right time.

If you’re on the Recipient plan or above, with the new customer notification updates, Circuit for Teams now includes customized text messages and email, personalization, and language choice. Reducing the chance for missed deliveries by letting customers know where their package is at all times.
