Reach Your Customer in Your Own Voice at Delivery Milestones

Shipsi puts delivery options in front of your customer that fit what they need, in language they can understand, and backed by your brand, giving them a reason to complete the purchase and giving you a promise your brand can keep, and keep well.

What It Does

Shipsi helps brands send every delivery notification under their own name and in their own voice, regardless of which carrier is moving the parcel. These notifications are the most-opened messages a brand will ever send, and they arrive in the window between purchase and delivery when the customer is paying closest attention. The benefits are both immediate and long-term: fewer “where is my order” contacts today, and a post-purchase channel your brand can use for reassurance and for the next sale.

Product Overview

Why It Matters

The delivery notification is often the only message a customer reads all the way through between checkout and the doorstep. Many brands hand that message to a carrier, and with it the voice, the timing, and the sender’s name.

  • A carrier’s name appears in your customer’s inbox, and displaces your brand, right when the customer is waiting to hear from you.
  • The notification arrives from an unrecognized number or a carrier’s address, in someone else’s voice, with someone else’s logo. A missed opportunity to grow your relationship with a customer who’s already highly engaged.
  • Notification timing is set by the carrier’s system, not by what the customer needs. A delay notice that arrives twelve hours late is an apology; the same notice sent early is something the customer can act on.
  • Brands running more than one carrier end up with more than one messaging experience. The customer who ordered twice from you may get two completely different communication experiences.
  • Every message your brand does not send is a message you cannot use. Reassurance, a service option, or a relevant offer all need a channel the customer already opens, and this is the channel.

How It Works

Girl with Mobile Laptop Boy with Mobile Girl with Mobile Laptop
01

SMS and email in your brand’s voice

across every carrier in the delivery chain, not only the carriers that happen to support branded messaging themselves.

02

Per-customer and per-order control.

Send SMS to some customers and not others, and decide which message goes out at which milestone, configured to the rules your brand sets.

03

Multi-language messaging,

with merchant email delivered through your own SMTP so it arrives from your domain.

04

A channel your brand can use for more than logistics.

Brands can use this communication stream to deepen customer relationships and grow future sales.

05

Rapid implementation.

Shipsi makes it easy to get moving quickly and with minimal effort: simply supply your brand assets and message templates, and set the rules for who receives which channel at which milestone. We also offer supported onboarding: a Shipsi rep confirms every message for content, sender, and rendering before anything reaches a customer.

Why This Is Different from Carrier-Native Messaging

Shipsi sets the messaging policy across every carrier in the chain, so the customer receives one experience whoever is carrying the parcel that day, and your brand gets to define how that experience shows up for the customer. A brand running three carriers with carrier-native messaging has three delivery experiences; a brand running them through Shipsi has one: yours.
