Transforms Customer Service with Delivery
Appointment Booking and Mobile Solutions
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Sleepy's, the largest privately-owned specialty mattress
retailer in America, has transformed customer service by offering a
highly-differentiated buying and delivery experience using
Descartes' advanced home delivery appointment booking and mobile
solutions.
"The code we live by at Sleepy's is to offer our customers the
best price, most convenient delivery, and most reliable service so
that 100% of customers are satisfied 100% of the time," said Donald
Rowley, Executive and CIO at Sleepy's. "Descartes' superior
technology platform for home delivery helps us deliver on this
promise every day. A huge differentiator for us is the ability to
collaborate with our independent delivery agents to support the
entire customer buying and delivery lifecycle with Descartes' route
planning, execution and mobile solutions integrated to our customer
relationship management (CRM) system."
With advanced continuous delivery appointment and route
optimization capabilities, Descartes' home delivery solution
enables Sleepy's to offer more delivery and value-added service
options at the point of order including next day delivery, set-up
and removal. The solution's enterprise-class, web-based
architecture connects and synchronizes internal and external
parties involved in the delivery process. In combination with
Descartes' Airclic Perform advanced mobile solution for GPS-enabled
mobile tracking and electronic proof of delivery (ePoD), Sleepy's
can rely on independent delivery agents to deliver orders while
eliminating manual paper-based processes and reducing overall
distribution costs.
"This is a key example of how our customers can transform
customer service and achieve significant value by augmenting the
delivery appointment booking and route planning and execution
solutions they use from Descartes with comprehensive mobile
capabilities," said Ken Wood, Executive Vice President of Product
Management at Descartes. "We're really pleased to support Sleepy's
in providing a differentiated buying and delivery experience that
serves as a foundation for increased sales and higher customer
loyalty."
