A 100% carbon-neutral company, Smartways has facilitated over 1.3 million surgeries and completed more than 3.2 million deliveries.The Challenge
Smartways Logistics faced several challenges in managing its operations efficiently. Their existing ticketing system was inefficient, making it difficult to handle high-priority deliveries. Additionally, there was a lack of integration between their internal logistics software and CRM, leading to fragmented data and limited visibility.
Key issues included:
- Inefficient ticket management for time-critical deliveries
- Difficulty in tracking jobs, drivers, and package statuses in real time
- Limited data synchronisation between systems
- Inadequate communication tools for agents to provide timely updates to clients
These challenges hindered their ability to deliver seamless and efficient service for their time-sensitive medical logistics operations.
The Solution
To address Smartways Logistics’ operational challenges, DigiKat implemented HubSpot Service Pro, transforming their ticket management and integrating their internal logistics systems. This integration enabled real-time tracking of jobs, drivers, and package statuses, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view of critical delivery operations.
Centralised ticket management allowed for more efficient handling of high-priority tasks, reducing response times and improving issue resolution. Additionally, integrated communication tools, including email, calls, and SMS within HubSpot, empowered agents to deliver timely and accurate updates to clients, enhancing the customer experience.
Custom workflows and automation were also developed to manage complex data relationships, such as parent-child company hierarchies, further streamlining operations. This unified approach improved efficiency and transparency and elevated service quality, positioning Smartways Logistics for sustained success in the medical logistics sector.
Real-time tracking and seamless communication have made us more efficient and improved our client relationships.
The Results
Implementing HubSpot Service Pro brought transformative results for Smartways Logistics, significantly improving their operations and service delivery. The company streamlined their processes by centralising ticket management, enabling faster response times and more efficient handling of high-priority, time-sensitive deliveries. This was particularly critical in their medical logistics services, where delays could have serious implications.
Enhanced data integration provided real-time tracking of jobs, drivers, and package statuses, giving the team a comprehensive view of their operations. This transparency allowed for better decision-making and ensured all stakeholders had access to accurate and up-to-date information.
Additionally, integrated communication tools within HubSpot empowered agents to interact with clients seamlessly through calls, emails, and SMS from a single platform. This improved agent productivity and allowed them to provide timely updates, enhancing the overall client experience.
These improvements not only streamlined operations but also elevated customer satisfaction.
