A real-time ETA for the end customer? It is possible!

March 8, 2024

Starting today, thanks to artificial intelligence that predicts the expected time of arrival (ETA), end customers are informed of the precise arrival time of their order.

Unsurprisingly, knowing the precise arrival time of your goods is key information for your end customer. Above all, it contributes greatly to his satisfaction.

However, until now, the information provided to customers was limited to the estimated arrival date of the transport. Customers did not benefit from the visibility part of TVMS. It is now done.

Today, thanks to artificial intelligence that predicts the expected time of arrival (ETA), customers will be informed of the precise arrival time of their order.

And the quality of your own service is only strengthened, de facto improving your SLA performance.

Three major advantages for your end customers

1- A greater level of transparency

The ETA feature provides an unparalleled level of information. Customers can track the status of their transport from origin to destination in real time, with details such as order reference, date and time of scheduled departure and arrival.

“In advance” if the ETA is earlier than the expected arrival date

“On time” if everything goes according to plan

“Delay” + number of hours late in other cases

2- Taking preventive measures

Thanks to the real-time ETA, customers can anticipate possible delays and take preventive measures. This increased visibility allows for better planning and avoids unpleasant surprises.

3- Notification in case of significant delay

Customers will receive an in-app notification if the ETA is more than 2 hours after the estimated arrival date and time. This proactive alert allows customers to take immediate action to mitigate any negative impacts.
