Have you seen Back to the Future Part II?
Spoiler alert: there’s a scene where Marty gets a letter from Doc Brown that’s been sitting in a postal vault… for 70 years!
Okay, sure, it’s sci-fi magic. But there’s a real-world lesson buried in that bit of movie fun: the letter only arrived because the address was exactly right. One wrong street number, one swapped zip code, or one missing detail, and that message would’ve been lost to the sands of time– or worse, sitting in the “undeliverable” pile forever.
In logistics, that’s not just a plot device, it’s our daily reality. You can have the most advanced, tech-enabled warehouses. You can have the smartest routing algorithms on the planet. You can have delivery teams who would happily trek across Hill Valley in a thunderstorm to get the package there. But if the address is wrong? You’re essentially sending Doc’s letter to the wrong timeline.
That’s why at Veho, we’ve launched Address Correction Nudges: a new tool that flags incomplete or incorrect addresses before a driver is dispatched. It’s like giving every package a time-travel-proof delivery plan, ensuring it arrives exactly where (and when) it’s supposed to, no flux capacitor required.
Why This Matters for Brand Shippers
As shippers know too well, incorrect or incomplete addresses are one of the most common sources of delivery failures. When a driver-partner can’t locate a customer address, this can result in a missed delivery, a dissatisfied customer, and extra handling costs.
Bottom line: Every failed delivery costs the shipper time, money, and customer goodwill.
Address Correction Nudges reduce the risk of these costs by contacting customers early and enabling them to confirm/update delivery details before a driver-partner is on the road.
With this feature, brands can expect:
- Fewer failed deliveries caused by incorrect or unverifiable addresses
- Higher first-attempt delivery success rates
- Lower re-delivery and customer support costs
- Improved on-time delivery performance
- A smoother, more reliable end-to-end customer experience that protects your brand reputation
How the Feature Works
Veho automatically reviews address and location data for each order at the time of creation. If an address is flagged by the system as incorrect, incomplete, or cannot be located precisely, the customer receives an SMS with a secure link to review and correct the details.
By resolving these issues before the day of delivery, Veho significantly reduces the chance that a driver-partner will encounter problems en route.
Benefits to Your Operations
Address Correction Nudges do more than prevent failed deliveries.Improved accuracy drives higher first-attempt delivery success rates and reduces the number of exceptions that disrupt your network.
By ensuring driver-partners have the most accurate delivery information before leaving the facility, they minimize the fully landed cost of shipping. With fewer address-related issues, shippers may see reductions in customer service costs and returns, while driver-partners can work more efficiently and follow optimized routes.
The end result is a more consistent and reliable delivery experience for your customers, which strengthens their trust in your brand.
Raising the Standard for Parcel Delivery
Address Correction Nudges are part of Veho’s broader strategy to improve delivery accuracy and customer satisfaction. By identifying and correcting address issues early, we reduce delivery failures, speed up delivery timelines, and ensure your products reach customers as promised.
For brands, this means fewer costly exceptions, improved operational efficiency, and stronger customer loyalty.
