Logistics & Transportation Sample Applications

Examples of using Multi-Alert in Logistics & Transportation applications
Shipment Status Notification
Inform customers or distributors when shipments leave the warehouse, are loaded on trucks, or reach customs. Interactive response mechanism allows recipients to request future updates, acknowledge delays, etc.

Appointment Scheduling
Interact with customers using automated calls to schedule appointments for home delivery of packages.
Lost Delivery Status
Keep customers updated on the status of deliveries that were lost.
Back-Order or Out-of-Stock Notification
When an item is out-of-stock or on back-order, customer satisfaction can hinge on prompt and effective communication. Automated notifications can determine next steps to fulfillment and trigger additional activity at a fraction of the traditional cost of an agent transaction.

Cargo Coordination
Reach disparate vehicles when new cargo becomes available for pick-up. Adhere to union regulations by escalating messages in order of seniority. Re-route drivers to optimize driver and load matching.
  Multi-Party Transactions
Coordinate multiple steps in the supply chain with effective, proactive communications. Bridge information from a supplier directly to the consumer.

Internal Reportable Events
Communicate out-of band occurrences to the appropriate internal team members bases on event type. Low-level incidents can be directed to the relevant group, while more emergent situations are escalated to higher-level personnel.

Traffic and Weather Alerts
Inform disparate employees and partners of traffic and weather concerns that may affect schedules and delivery. Avoid potential supply chain snags by preemptively communicating impending obstacles to enable re-routing.

Crew/Staff Scheduling
Automatically coordinate staff for available shifts with rules-based, interactive notifications. Eliminate the need for manual call trees to fill vacant slots.
