Mobile Applications – A Simpler Way To Process Orders
Imagine you are sitting in a cafe far away from your warehouse, and you see a notification on your phone that says you have received a Rs.10000 order. You’re overjoyed.
But, there is a condition. The order needs to be shipped right away so that it can reach the buyer in time.
What do you do? Let go of your order because you can’t process it instantly? Wrong.
You simply grab your mobile phone, open the Shiprocket app, add a new order and voila! Your order is ready to ship.
That is how convenient and easy eCommerce shipping becomes when you use a mobile application.
There other reasons why mobile applications are a good fit for your business. Some of them include:
Accessibility
An app truly makes eCommerce shipping effortless as it is available with you all the time. A mobile phone is much easier to carry, and you can make changes to your shipments at any point in the day and process orders easily.
Ease of use
It goes without saying that mobile applications have a more interactive interface. They make eCommerce shipping straightforward and mimic the online platform in all functions. Thus, you can conveniently process all your shipments from one platform and have the same record across all platforms.
Faster fulfillment
A mobile app follows the trend of a unilateral flow. Hence, each step is quickly followed by the next, and you can process your shipments faster. This saves you time and enables you to ship a higher number of orders daily.
