Recustomer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Yasuhiro Shibata, Shota Tsujino; hereinafter: Recustomer) announces the launch of a new feature, 'Absence Notice Reminder,' designed to prevent forgotten redeliveries for packages that are 'brought back' due to the recipient's absence during delivery.
This feature automatically prompts the redelivery procedure, which previously relied on the customer's initiative, thereby preventing packages from being left undelivered and 'missed.' This improves the redelivery request rate and achieves reductions in return and redelivery costs. Furthermore, by facilitating smoother redeliveries, it contributes to the efficiency of delivery operations and provides customers with a seamless post-purchase receiving experience.
## Development Background
With the expansion of the e-commerce market, the post-purchase delivery experience has become a crucial factor influencing customer satisfaction. On the other hand, cases where packages are brought back due to absence still occur frequently, and 'missed' deliveries remain a major challenge for businesses.
When a package is brought back, in many cases, setting up a redelivery is left to the customer through the posting of an absence notice. However, depending on the delivery company or situation, there are cases where redelivery does not occur unless the customer actively schedules it. As a result, packages are left unreceived for long periods or are ultimately returned, leading to increased redelivery costs and return handling.
Furthermore, on the delivery company's side, continuous reminder notifications carry a heavy cost burden and are structurally difficult to fully implement. Therefore, redelivery tends to rely on a single notification or the customer's spontaneous action, becoming a factor that causes non-delivery.
Particularly for products where the delivery timing is hard to grasp, such as regular subscription flights, bring-backs are more likely to occur, resulting in a higher risk of packages being left undelivered.
Focusing on the fact that redelivery after a bring-back relies heavily on the customer's action, Recustomer developed this feature as a mechanism to prevent unreceived packages from being ignored by automatically prompting redelivery.
## Feature Overview
Recustomer has developed a reminder email feature as a means to automate the redelivery process after a bring-back. This feature acts as a mechanism to prevent unreceived packages from being ignored and to recover missed deliveries by prompting customers to set up a redelivery at the appropriate timing, triggered by the delivery status.
### Automatic Sending of Reminder Emails to Prompt Redelivery
Triggered by the bring-back (absence) status, a reminder email is automatically sent after a specified number of days. By continuously reminding the customer, it prompts them to set up a redelivery and prevents the situation from being left unattended.
### Preventing Unnecessary Notifications through Status-based Delivery Control
