It’s more than just frustrating—it’s disrespectful. When a client pays thousands of cedis for a service, they shouldn't have to chase you for a single update.
In logistics, proactive communication isn't a "bonus" feature; it is a foundational requirement.
Stay with me..
In 2024, we pitched a centralized tracking app to a logistics firm. The goal was simple:
For the Customer: Real-time visibility to kill the anxiety of "where is my package?"
For the Company: Drastically reduce the crushing pressure on the call center and gather high-level data for the marketing team.
At the time, they felt secure. They had basic SMS and email notifications.
My POC person said they didn't find the need to upgrade. "Business was good".
Fast forward to today. An emerging startup recognized that exact gap and built the solution. While the established firm stood still, this newcomer bridged the distance between customers and their goods.
The result? They’ve already captured a massive chunk of the market, sitting at over 10,000 downloads on the Play Store alone—and they’re still just in their pilot stage.
As a business owner, your unwillingness to adapt to market shifts will cost you far more than the price of the technology you're avoiding.
Always prioritize the need to innovate before your customers find someone else who will.
