An algorithm detects delivery delays and informs the retailer&#039;s customers via various channels such as email or SMS. The software sends personalized pickup notifications and delivery announcements in the retailer&#039;s corporate identity. This allows the retailer to stay in touch with the customer even after the purchase. Buxhoidt says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;Many companies have so far neglected shipping as a part of the customer journey. Fortunately, mail order companies are increasingly discovering that this offers enormous potential for cross-selling and upselling, as well as for strengthening customer loyalty. We can already count Marc O&#039;Polo, Jochen Schweizer, Thomann, and Weltbild among our satisfied customers, which of course further confirms our commitment.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Praise for parcelLab from investors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Christian Stein<\/strong>, Managing Director at Coparion, says about the investment decision:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;We were impressed by how much parcelLabs&#039; technology can extract from logistics providers&#039; existing shipment data to enable improved customer communication in one area of the customer journey. The speed with which measurable results are achieved for retailers in a very short time further strengthened our investment decision.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>TAKKT Managing Director <strong>Francis Josten<\/strong> added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;We firmly believe in the importance of personalized customer communication after checkout. With its proactive shipping notifications, parcelLab offers a very attractive solution for improving the customer shopping experience, and we are pleased to support parcelLab in its further development.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ParcelLab has completed a seven-figure Series A financing round.
