Post-Purchase Experience
The Challenge:
As BikesOnline expanded rapidly, they faced significant challenges in managing their global operations and delivering a seamless post-purchase customer experience. They sought a robust solution to monitor their shipments across multiple geographies, minimize delivery issues, and provide exceptional customer service.
"Before Parcel Perform, we could only “guesstimate” when parcels would arrive. In some cases we sent customers emails asking for a product review before the parcel even arrived.
We saw a big increase in product reviews once we triggered our emails based on parcel arrival dates."

Parcel Perform revolutionized BikesOnline's post-purchase journey, addressing challenges from their rapid expansion. With tools like branded tracking pages, proactive notifications, and streamlined customer service workflows, BikesOnline achieved an 80% email open rate and a 20% reduction in WISMO calls.
