What the AI did
Automated customer phone calls to confirm delivery slots, and used AI to improve links between internal systems.
The result
Rescheduled deliveries fell by 22%.
It means 400 phone calls a day are done automatically, leaving staff to focus on more important tasks. It has reduced the number of deliveries that have to be rescheduled because no one is in by 22%.
Check before trusting
Track failed deliveries before and after so you know the change is real. Make sure customers can always reach a person.
Prompt to try it

Write a short automated call or text script that confirms a delivery for [CUSTOMER_NAME] on [DATE] between [TIME_WINDOW]. Give options to confirm, rebook or leave safe-place instructions, and say how to reach a person at [PHONE_NUMBER].
