It’s a simple way to improve customer service and increase 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.
Customize notification content to suit your business and your customers using ready-made templates or create your own. Routimo also supports multiple language versions. This feature is included in the Professional plan or available as an add-on.
SMS Appointment Confirmation: Improve On-Time Deliveries
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 within the project, making route planning easier and reducing the risk of late deliveries. This feature is particularly useful for businesses where the recipient needs to be available at the specified address.
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.

Benefits of Customer Communication

Time and Resource Savings
With automatic SMS and email notifications, your employees do not need to contact customers each time. Delivery status information is sent automatically, which reduces the number of calls and inquiries and shortens service time.
Improved Operational Efficiency
Automated delivery reminders and visit confirmations reduce the number of failed delivery attempts. This means fewer downtimes, fewer errors, and better route schedule management.
Increased Customer Satisfaction
Customers value transparency and up-to-date information. System notifications give them a sense of control over delivery, which positively impacts their shopping experience and brand loyalty.
Professional Customer Service
Regular and timely order status updates build trust and a professional company image. Notifications can include driver contact details, delivery time windows, or shipment tracking links.
