Before we get too far down the road, it’s important to understand why we are here. Why Route? What is included for you to take advantage of? What is the best way to utilize our services?
Introduction to Route
Check out the quick video below to get a glimpse into what Route can do not only for you, but more importantly your customers. - COMING SOON
The Route mobile app automatically connects to everything your consumers have ordered from all their favorite retailers while allowing them to visually track their packages, anytime, anywhere.
Route Package Protection enables merchants to provide package protection to their customers, allowing them to provide the same experience that consumers have come to expect from e-commerce marketplaces like Amazon. We take care of your customers lost, damaged, or stolen items with a seamless process to resolve order issues. When an order issue is reported, we refund or reorder the item in 24 hours, giving you an extra sale instead of a loss. Route is completely free for merchants.
You spend a lot of time, money, and effort getting your customers to come to your website, and make a purchase, that is the goal. But if they have a bad post-purchase experience, as you know, they aren't coming back to buy again.
Route gives you the tools you need to improve your post-purchase experience for customers by offering package protection, branded tracking, carbon-neutral shipping, and post-purchase product recommendations.
Your customers can track their orders on a page with your branding, and they will have the ability to get their orders replaced or refunded if anything gets lost, damaged, or stolen.
Oh and the best part, that is all no cost to you, and you make money from the reorders. It's a no brainer really.
Awesome! Now that you have a better understanding of why we are here, let’s dive into the setup.
