Background:
The client is an ecommerce company that operates in africa. They offer cash on delivery (COD) as a payment option for their customers, which is a popular payment method in the continent. However, the company has been facing a challenge with low cash on delivery success rate, which has been impacting their revenue and customer satisfaction. They have partnered with BVLab to develop a solution that can predict the delivery success rate and help them optimize their operations.
Solution:
BVLab developed a solution called Delivery Success Predictor, which uses machine learning algorithms to analyze historical data and predict the success rate of cash on delivery orders. The solution uses a combination of variables, including customer behavior, order details, and delivery location, to make accurate predictions. The solution is integrated with the client’s existing order management system, and the delivery success rate predictions are displayed in real-time on a dashboard.
Implementation:
The solution was implemented over a period of three months, during which BVLab’s team worked closely with the client’s operations and IT teams. The team collected and analyzed historical data on order details, customer behavior, and delivery locations to train the machine learning algorithms. Once the solution was trained, it was integrated with the client’s order management system and tested extensively.
Results:
After the implementation of the Delivery Success Predictor solution, the client was able to improve their cash on delivery success rate by 25%. The solution provided the client with real-time visibility into the delivery success rate, allowing them to proactively address any issues that could impact the success rate. The client was also able to optimize their operations and resources based on the predicted delivery success rate, which helped them reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction.
Conclusion:
The Delivery Success Predictor solution developed by BVLab helped the ecommerce client improve their cash on delivery success rate and optimize their operations. The solution leveraged machine learning algorithms to predict the delivery success rate, providing the client with real-time visibility into their operations. The client was able to improve their revenue and customer satisfaction, demonstrating the value of data-driven solutions in the ecommerce industry.
