Elevate your customer service with the Truckit.net Provider App

Posted by Truckit on 18/12/2023

In the world of logistics and transportation, customer service is vital. Meeting delivery deadlines, ensuring the safety of goods, and maintaining transparent communication are all crucial components of operating a successful transport business. In the digital age, where technology continues to revolutionize various industries, Truckit.net’s Provider App can help take your customer service to new heights. In this article, we'll explore how downloading our Provider App and enabling tracking on quotes can significantly elevate your customer service.

Real-time transparency

One of the most significant advantages of using the Truckit.net Provider App is the real-time transparency it offers. When you allow tracking on quotes, both your admin team and your customers gain access to live updates on the status and location of their shipments. This transparency builds trust, as customers can monitor their cargo's progress throughout the journey. It also allows your team to proactively address any potential issues, such as delays or route changes, before they become major concerns.

Enhanced messaging and communication

Effective communication is the cornerstone of exceptional customer service. With the Truckit.net Provider App, communication becomes a breeze. You can send notifications to customers, providing them with important updates on their shipments. Whether it's letting them know you have collected, confirming delivery, or informing them of any unexpected delays, these updates keep customers informed and satisfied. Moreover, customers can reach out to you while you’re on the go, ensuring that their questions or concerns are addressed promptly.

Reduced administrative burden

Managing a transport organization involves a significant administrative workload. However, the Truckit.net Provider App simplifies many of these tasks. When you enable tracking on quotes, you can automate various aspects of customer service, such as sending regular status updates. This automation not only reduces the administrative burden on your team but also minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring that customers receive accurate information.

Digital Proof of Delivery

Truckit's App allows you to digitally upload PODs upon delivery, meaning customers are digitally notified as soon as delivery occurs which speeds up the release of funds. While sometimes annoying, PODs do help protect all parties - ensuring customers understand what has been delivered and documenting any discrepancies that could result in returns, refunds or re-delivery. Executed electronically, Truckit's POD upload function eliminates pesky paperwork, improves customer service and reduces the chance for customer disputes.

Competitive advantage

In today's competitive transport industry, staying ahead of the curve is essential. The Truckit.net Provider App offers a competitive advantage by enhancing customer service. When potential clients see that you offer real-time tracking and communication, they are more likely to choose your services over competitors who don't. This advantage can be a game-changer when bidding for contracts and expanding your customer base.
