Customer Communication in Delivery Logistics
In today’s world of delivery logistics, efficient customer communication is crucial. Customer expectations are growing, which is why companies need modern tools to automate SMS and email notifications.

This allows your company to increase process transparency, build trust, and reduce the number of order status inquiries. It is a simple way to improve service quality and customer satisfaction.
Key Notification Features in Routimo:
SMS and Email Notifications – Fast Customer Communication
Routimo’s integrated notification module enables automatic customer updates about order status via SMS or email—for example, after route approval, delivery time changes, or task completion.
You can customize notification content to meet your company’s and recipient’s needs, using templates or creating your own. The system also supports language variants. This feature is available in the Professional package or as an add-on option.
SMS Visit Confirmation Module – Increase Delivery Punctuality
With the SMS visit confirmation feature, your customers receive a reminder about the planned delivery and can quickly confirm its time. A simple reply message is all it takes.
Confirmations can be sent automatically or manually from the project level, which facilitates route planning and reduces the risk of late delivery. This feature works perfectly in industries where recipient availability at the specified address is essential.
Notification History – Full Control Over Customer Communication
The “History” feature in Routimo enables you to view all messages sent to customers—SMS and email.
You will see the date, time, project, and delivery point the message concerned.
You can also check the notification content and its status—for example, whether the message was delivered successfully or rejected due to an error (e.g., incorrect email address).
This makes it easy to monitor customer communication and eliminate problems.
