The Challenge:

As BikesOnline expanded rapidly, they faced significant challenges in managing their global operations and delivering a seamless post-purchase customer experience. They sought a robust solution to monitor their shipments across multiple geographies, minimize delivery issues, and provide exceptional customer service.

"Before Parcel Perform, we could only “guesstimate” when parcels would arrive. In some cases we sent customers emails asking for a product review before the parcel even arrived. We saw a big increase in product reviews once we triggered our emails based on parcel arrival dates."

The Parcel Perform Solution:

Parcel Perform revolutionized BikesOnline's post-purchase journey, addressing challenges from their rapid expansion. With tools like branded tracking pages, proactive notifications, and streamlined customer service workflows, BikesOnline achieved an 80% email open rate and a 20% reduction in WISMO calls.

• Branded Tracking Page

• Customer Notifications
  Kept customers informed with proactive delivery updates via email and SMS, reducing WISMO inquiries.

• Delivery Analytics
  Leveraged insightful data to identify areas for improvement, optimize carrier performance, and make informed business decisions.

"Parcel Perform helped us eliminate the issue where a customer would purchase something from us and forget about it, only to realize weeks later that the parcel never got delivered. Our proactive outreach has been really well-received by customers who feel supported by our team in every step of the purchase experience."

With the help of the Parcel Overview Dashboard's customizable filters, BikesOnline can obtain full visibility of all order and delivery details. This helps them identify any problem areas and alert their customers immediately.
