Written by Arthur Ashdown

Keep your customers informed in real time

The MaxOptra customer Tracking Widget is an informational hub for your customers to receive updates about their orders in real time. This reduces calls to your customer service team and ensures customer satisfaction. The tracking page is available on MaxOptra's own domain (orderstrack.com) or embedded on your website.

MaxOptra Tracking Widget provides the following benefits;

Automated status updates

We automate status updates by email or SMS for your customers, including: planned times, live ETA and completion.

Reliable tracking information

We understand that things don't always go according to plan, so we have the option to show live ETAs that are updated as drivers progress through their day and we only show driver location to your customers when the driver is on the move to their specific order.

Increase customer satisfaction

The MaxOptra customer Tracking Widget gives your customers peace of mind knowing that they can track their orders in real time. This can help to reduce customer inquiries and improve customer satisfaction.
