COD refusal and 'customer unavailable'
The two most common NDR reasons. WhatsApp asks for a reattempt slot or cancellation; IVR covers numbers that never open chat.
NDR management & RTO reduction
When a courier marks non-delivery, Dispatch messages the buyer on WhatsApp, runs IVR if needed, and pushes a reattempt — so fewer parcels return to origin.

Industry RTO on COD often sits between 25% and 40%. Dispatch treats every non-delivery report as a recoverable attempt — not a completed return.
Message the customer as soon as the courier flags unavailable, refused, or incomplete address.
Automated voice captures reattempt date, location change, or cancellation when WhatsApp is unanswered.
Updated instructions go back to the field executive so the next attempt uses the buyer’s preference.
A non-delivery report is not a closed return. Most Indian couriers still allow reattempts. The cost is in delay: if nobody reaches the buyer inside the window, reverse freight is billed and the sale is gone. Dispatch is NDR management software that acts in that window.
The two most common NDR reasons. WhatsApp asks for a reattempt slot or cancellation; IVR covers numbers that never open chat.
Capture a landmark, alternate number, or corrected pin and push it back to the field executive before the next attempt.
Flag phone numbers and addresses that refuse COD repeatedly so the next order is confirmed — or blocked — before dispatch.
AI and WhatsApp handle volume. Account managers own the exception when a courier portal or pickup still needs a human.
