IVR Boosting Courier & Amp; Delivery Services


IVR Boosting Courier & Amp; Delivery Services

Courier and delivery services have grown exponentially in the last decade. There are many players in this industry, claiming their services to be best and in fact, they actually are making things easy. The only issue with these services is that of tracking. Some of the courier services do not provide detailed tracking facility. Many though provide online link to track the delivery status but to check the status customer have to, every time, browse the internet.

If courier and delivery businesses adopt AI based IVR services, the customers can dial the toll-free number and get updated about the delivery status. The customer need not to even make a call, IVR on its own would provide the courier service providers the facility to update every client about the delivery status through, AI based, outbound calls/SMS. Not only this, these service providers can even inform their client about latest discounts (if any) or they can even advertise through the outbound SMS facility.

IVR can help a courier service to become better in terms of customer satisfaction, customer size, market size and many other ways. What is your take on that?

Is Work from home better or Are we not prepared for it?

This lockdown has made everyone to opt work from home to run their businesses and organisations. Many are advising to transform the way we look at running businesses by opting for work from home post lock down. But the question is - Is work from home that effective? According to me, Work from home can be a complimentary tool not a substitute. Every team work requires brainstorming and discussions which are productive if teams sit together rather than working from their homes and discussing over any video conferencing tool. Exchange of information is better when employees work in a common workspace. While working from homes the exchange of information becomes non uniform, teams of different departments, for example, would have information related to their department only and this increases with the size of organisation – the bigger the organisation more will be the non-uniformity. Working in an office reduces the time involved in resolving doubts that any team member or team may have re...
