A Deep Dive Into Getcho’s Unique Delivery Process

Step 1: Verify Order Details

Our process starts by ensuring every order is accurate and ready for a smooth delivery:

  • Address Confirmation: We verify both pickup and drop-off addresses to avoid errors.
  • Delivery Notes Review: If special instructions are included (e.g., “Leave with doorman”), we ensure they match the addresses provided.
  • Historical Notes Check: We cross-reference past deliveries to flag potential issues.

Step 2: Select the Ideal Delivery Fleet

We choose the best courier network for each delivery based on speed, cost, and payload.

  • Fleet Optimization: Our technology evaluates courier options to balance efficiency and affordability.
  • Trusted Partnerships: We work with vetted third-party fleets to ensure reliability.

Step 3: Coordinate Pickup

Clear communication at pickup ensures no delays or confusion:

  • Courier Instructions: Pickup details and any specific business requirements are shared with the courier.
  • Order Readiness Verification: We integrate with retailers’ systems to confirm orders are prepared.
  • ID Verification: If required, we ensure secure pickups through ID checks.

Step 4: Oversee Drop-Off

We coordinate the final stage of delivery with precision:

  • Recipient Availability: Getcho confirms availability or coordinates with a doorman for secure drop-offs.
  • Delivery Preferences: ETAs and special instructions (e.g., discreet packaging for gifts) are followed to ensure satisfaction.

Step 5: Actively Manage Orders in Real-Time

Delivery management doesn’t stop once the package is on the road. Getcho actively tracks and resolves issues as they arise:

  • Real-Time Updates: Businesses and customers are notified at every stage.
  • Issue Resolution: We quickly address delays, address mismatches, or unexpected courier issues.
  • Loss Prevention: Our system calculates a “risk score” to predict and prevent potential delivery problems.

Step 6: Confirm Delivery

The process ends with a thorough confirmation:

  • Photo Verification: Confirmation with photos and GPS data is sent to both the business and the customer.
  • Follow-Up Reporting: Delivery details are included in weekly business reports, keeping you informed and in control.

Operational Impact

Caught every time. Fixed most times. Paid the rest.

Every delivery, audited

We catch all of them. Every pickup and drop is scored against the order, the address and the notes — nothing is sampled and nothing is skipped.

0%
Caught and fixed in flight

Most problems get solved while the package is still moving — the driver redirected, the wrong door corrected, the stall called in. Your customer never finds out there was one.
