In that spirit, as you look to pivot to home delivery or expand the products you offer or your delivery radius, there is no better time to evaluate your level of service, how you can differentiate yourself from any competitors, and become more efficient. Here are four ways — all areas that Delivery Biz Pro specializes in — to help you do just that. 

1. Know Your Customers

Most businesses keep track of customer information, but how many of them use it to know and understand them? In order to provide the best experience and maintain customer loyalty, you have to find a system that will allow you to track as many details as possible and let you review and evaluate that information in order to get a better understanding of their wants and needs. 

Tracking things like subscription startup dates, order history, and special requests allow you to create a profile for each customer so you can create personalized offers and up-sell suggestions. From a business perspective, enhanced order tracking also gives you the information you need to better forecast inventory and identify potential growth opportunities for new items or product categories. 

2. Communicate Before, During, And After Delivery 

We’re in the age where people have multiple methods for communicating right at their fingertips. They have a phone, access to email and social media, instant messaging, and more. All of this means they are receiving a constant stream of communication throughout the day. People have come to expect that there will be ongoing interactions with the places they do business with — from the time they place their order, through delivery, and follow-up. 

If you aren’t in touch with your customers at every stage of their buying journey, then you’re missing out. Frequent communication builds a relationship, identifies opportunities to improve service, lets your customers know that their business is important to you, and provides opportunities to increase sales.   

3. Nurture the Relationship

The most successful businesses are the ones who have nurtured relationships and created a following to establish the brand loyalty that insulates them from the ups and downs, which has been crucial as we endure a recession. Nurturing the relationship means communicating with your customers consistently with information relevant to them and their buying habits. With Delivery Biz Pro, you can send alerts and reminders easily, welcome emails, or even notifications to customers who haven’t ordered recently. Whether you’re reminding them that it might be time to place their weekly order for produce or you’re rewarding them with a coupon for referring your business to a friend, it’s more important than ever before to build a connection with your customers. 

Keep in mind that you should also provide convenient ways for your customers to communicate with you as well, with a very clear contact email, phone number, and feedback form on your website. Good communication is a two-way street.

4. Provide Excellent Service

You can do all of the right things to get to know your customers and build their trust, but in the end, it’s all about delivering on your promise. Businesses that falter even one time by showing up late or forgetting to include an item that was ordered can easily be replaced by a competitor. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure you’re doing everything you can to meet and even exceed the high expectations that have been put upon you.

With an all-in-one eCommerce and delivery software like Delivery Biz Pro, you can enhance the buying experience with the use of our customer management tools that allow orders to be placed, tracked, and edited easily while maintaining communication between you, the customer, and the driver. Not only will you be able to ensure accurate orders every time, but you’ll also be able to achieve another key component of excellent service — on-time delivery. Our smart route management features tell your drivers what needs to be dropped off and gives them turn by turn directions to help them get to their destination. Have a last-minute change? Drivers can modify orders on the road or reposition stops to account for unexpected changes such as a canceled order or a new priority.

If your business is struggling to meet high customer expectations, Delivery Biz Pro is here to help. In today’s post, we’re going to discuss some of the features and tools that can be found in our delivery management software. It can help you keep track of all of the details so you can do more and offer more to your customers. Here are just a few of the things that Delivery Biz Pro can do for you.

Send Personalized, Automated Emails

Using a system to send emails automatically isn’t anything new, but there are still some small companies that are still doing it the hard way. Even if you have email automation, are you making an effort to send out highly personalized emails, or are you just sending a one-size-fits-all note? 

Just because you’re using an automated system to send out emails, that doesn’t mean it has to look as if you are. Emails should be sent at specific times that are relevant to the customer — after signing up for emails, after making a purchase, after receiving their order, and so forth. Ideally, each email should also contain unique information that is specific to that customer including their name, order details, reminders about upcoming deliveries, and suggestions for future orders based on past buying preferences. This level of personalization can be difficult to achieve — unless you have the right tools to help you do it. 

Control Customer Accounts With Ease

Expanding your customer base while allowing for more customization means a significant increase in complexity. This requires a system that is robust enough to help you handle all of the moving parts. With Delivery Biz Pro, you can easily track orders, see past account activity, and make changes to profile data. Customers that want to pause their service while on vacation may do so, and you can manage it with ease by setting up a hold during the specified date range. Need to alert a driver about a specific customer request? It’s no problem — simply make a note in their account and the message will be relayed.  

Track Customer Notes and Conversations

Customer communication can happen in many ways — emails, text messages, phone conversations, and so forth. Every conversation and every interaction can offer useful information and an opportunity to improve the customer experience. Delivery Biz Pro can help you track all of your customer communications in one convenient location. With our delivery management software, you can set reminders, establish recurring notes, and even track all of your phone conversations. Never miss out on another opportunity because you forgot to follow-up. 

Send Automatic Order Reminders

Increase the frequency of repeat orders by sending automatic alerts to customers who have purchased before. Delivery Biz Pro makes it easy to track customer orders and then use that data to set up automatic messages reminding them that it might be time to order again. Your customers will appreciate having one less thing to remember and you’ll appreciate more order consistency. 

Offer Order Suggestions

Amazon is the master at increasing sales through product recommendations and now you can do the same with Delivery Biz Pro. When customers enter the shopping section of your website, they can see the full list of product offerings as well as suggestions for products they may like based on their browsing history. It’s like having their own personal shopping assistant, every time they visit the website.
