All use cases
Logistics & Warehousing

Real-time visibility for every shipment

Logistics operators, 3PLs, and warehouse teams use Chat API to send automated shipment updates, proof of delivery notifications, exception alerts, and driver coordination messages on WhatsApp.

The challenge

Why logistics communication breaks down

Customers left in the dark on deliveries

Without proactive tracking notifications, customers flood call centres with 'where is my order' queries.

Exceptions handled too slowly

Delays, failed deliveries, and address issues communicated by email are resolved hours later, compounding costs.

Driver coordination is inefficient

Coordinating shift changes, route updates, and pickup confirmations over phone calls wastes dispatcher time.
