The role of logistics in the customer experience
That punctual and efficient logistics contributes in a decisive way to making the customer experience of an e-commerce business distinctive is now beyond question. In fact, buying on the internet is now a consolidated practice for consumers of all ages, increasingly careful in selecting the seller, not only by choosing the most convenient offers but also increasingly preferring a precise and reliable service. In this context, logistics in particular makes it possible to improve the customer experience of an e-commerce through:
Precise information on delivery times. Online purchase presupposes greater trust of the buyer in the seller, since after payment the purchased good is not immediately available: the first step in the construction of this relationship concerns the certainty of the timing of delivery. Brands that sell online can take advantage of increasingly punctual and precise services and provide their customers with increasingly detailed information that meets their needs. The companies that deal with logistics have adopted processes for the automation of shipments, automatic creation of tracking labels and other procedures capable of streamlining each process and guaranteeing rapid, increasingly precise and personalized deliveries also through notifications on the various delivery statuses of the goods.
Care in packing. The logistics sector today allows you to ship virtually any type of goods: this is not only due to the optimization of the supply chain but also to the quality of the packing used. This aspect, which apparently responds only to the practical need to protect goods, has become an increasingly strategic factor because it speaks volumes about the brand. Careful packing, with refined materials specially designed to safeguard the content in the delicate phases of transport, adds value for the customer. Furthermore, attention to detail in the packing is a signal capable of expressing the philosophy of a company in the best possible way: eco-sustainable packing, made with professional materials, not only allows the item to arrive intact at its destination, but also tangibly contributes to strengthening the corporate reputation and gives those who buy on the web the feeling that the company is not focused solely and exclusively on the conclusion of the transaction but also takes other aspects into consideration.
Tracing of orders. The optimization of the customer experience in logistics related to e-commerce necessarily involves an efficient tracking service capable of informing and reassuring those who buy that the shipment is handled by professionals. This is perhaps the most important point for improving the relationship between seller and consumer: knowing how to anticipate customer needs and immediately provide a shipment tracking service, which promptly communicates any changes or delays, can earn the trust of those who buy and constitute a strength with relation to the competition. In order to keep customers informed, it is also possible to use platforms that offer automated services capable of providing real-time data relating to the position of the goods, the status and delivery forecasts. In this way, not only will the customer be fully satisfied, but it will be possible to have the situation under control to manage any emergencies that might emerge.
