What is RTO and why should I reduce it?

RTO (Return to Origin) happens when a delivery fails-customer not home, wrong address, payment rejected, or refused orders. Each RTO costs ₹50-150 in logistics fees plus lost sale value. Reducing RTO by just 5% can save ₹10-30 lakhs annually for mid-size stores.

How does COD confirmation reduce failed deliveries?

Before dispatch, Wapikit sends an automated WhatsApp asking customers to confirm their order, address, and payment readiness. This catches issues early-wrong addresses, payment concerns, or cancellations-before the courier wastes time and money on a failed attempt.

Can customers reschedule delivery via WhatsApp?

Yes. Smart delivery alerts include live tracking and one-click reschedule options directly in WhatsApp. Customers can shift delivery to a convenient time without calling support. This eliminates "customer not home" RTOs entirely.

How do prepaid incentives help with RTO reduction?

COD orders carry higher risk. Wapikit automatically offers incentives (discounts, cashback, loyalty points) to nudge COD customers toward prepaid. Converting 10-15% of COD to prepaid eliminates payment risk RTOs while building customer loyalty.

What is the typical RTO reduction percentage?

Most stores see 40-50% RTO reduction within 60 days of deployment. Average RTO rates drop from 10-12% to 5-6%, translating to ₹15-50 lakhs saved annually depending on order volume.

Does this work for all delivery partners?

Yes. Wapikit integrates with all major logistics partners-Delhivery, Shiprocket, Easypost, Flexport, and custom APIs. We pull real-time tracking data and automatically sync confirmation status back to your logistics system.

How does address verification prevent RTOs?

Wapikit auto-requests address confirmation from customers via WhatsApp before dispatch. Customers verify or correct pincode, street address, and landmarks in real-time. This alone prevents 95% of "wrong address" RTOs.

Can I track my RTO reduction progress?

Yes, you get a real-time RTO dashboard showing: current RTO rate %, failed vs successful deliveries, top RTO reasons, prepaid conversion %, and total logistics cost savings. Weekly reports help you optimize campaigns further.
