Customer communication software for logistics and delivery

Couriers, freight forwarders and delivery teams spend much of the day answering where is my parcel. KitoDesk gives each depot or team its own queue, turns delivery exceptions into tracked cases, and lets you send proactive updates so customers do not need to ask.

The problem

Where service breaks down today.

Customers chase parcels on several channels and different staff answer differently.

Delivery exceptions are fixed by whoever notices, with no record.

Updates are sent one by one, after the customer has already asked.

Give each depot its own queue

Branch scopes keep each depot focused on its own customers while supervisors see the whole network.

Turn delivery exceptions into cases

A failed delivery, damaged item or address problem becomes a case with an owner and a due time, so it is resolved and recorded.

Good to know

KitoDesk does not track shipments. Tracking data stays in your logistics system, and you can push updates into KitoDesk through the API and webhooks.

Questions

About logistics teams on KitoDesk.

Can we send tracking updates automatically?

Campaigns can send scheduled notices, and the API and webhooks let your own system trigger updates. Automatic parcel tracking is not built in.

Can each depot see only its own customers?

Yes. Use branch scopes so each depot sees its own conversations.
