Automated Event Triggers
The moment a dispatcher assigns a job or a driver taps "Out for Delivery", a branded WhatsApp message fires automatically.
One-Tap Live Tracking Links
Every WhatsApp notification includes a secure, unique link to a mobile-optimized tracking page—no login required for the recipient.
Instant Digital Proof of Delivery
Once completed, customers immediately receive a WhatsApp confirmation containing their digital signature or delivery photo.
Tired of customer support bottlenecks on busy delivery days?
Without automated updates, customers naturally panic about their packages—leading to missed deliveries and non-stop phone calls.
Dispatchers waste hours manually replying to individual customer chats.
Drivers arrive unannounced while the recipient is away, causing costly failed attempts.
Staff manually messaging customers from personal phones, creating data tracking leaks.
No immediate, verifiable receipt sent to the customer upon drop-off.
