Your tracking confuses customers... they’ll call customer service anyway

One major benefit of tracking is that it keeps your customer proactively informed about their order. They don’t need to contact you, and you can reduce customer service costs. Given one retailer we work with estimates customer service calls cost £4 apiece, these are some significant potential savings!

But you can forget about it if your customer doesn’t actually understand the tracking updates you provide. Unconsolidated third-party tracking updates are inconsistent, and filled with jargon that simply won’t mean anything to your customers. Each carrier does things very differently. Some may have 50 events and others might have 50,000, each with their own terminology, formats, and processes. As a consumer, the data and different UIs can be incredibly hard to interpret.

If your customer doesn’t understand what’s going on, they’ll call you anyway. Then no one is happy.

Challenge

Your shopping experience is disjointed

Would you let a third party take over your website? Or your checkout page? We didn't think so. So why are you letting them take over your tracking experience?

Tracking forms a major part of your overall brand experience. If you rely on a third-party to provide these updates, just think how much of that experience you’re ceding control over.

Total carrier % of communication:

82% of consumers have told us they want tracking to come from the seller.

You have spent all your Marketing budget acquiring these customers. Then by handing over your hard-earned customers to third-parties you’re putting their customer lifetime value at risk. Not to mention missing out on the opportunity to upsell and drive further conversions.

You’re missing out on precious upsell

Every stage of the ecommerce experience is an opportunity to retain customers and drive them towards additional products. Tracking is no exception to this. So why are you sending your customers directly to carrier websites where these third-parties are only promoting themselves?

Solution

Drive additional revenue in your branded tracking portal

Using an owned tracking site allows you to leverage a high-trafficked page to highlight your own products and promotions. For example, Metapack Delivery tracker allows you to easily upload static banner advertising, and include links to high performing pages on your website.

You can even integrate the portal with Google Analytics to test and track promotions and advertising.
