As a growing franchise, Pizza Guys needed a solution that would enhance driver tracking, provide proof of delivery, and offer real-time customer feedback. Shipday emerged as the ideal platform to fulfill these needs.

Previous Delivery Process

Prior to Shipday, Pizza Guys relied on a basic notification system such as “Your driver is on the way.” However, this approach had significant limitations:

• No real-time tracking for customers.

• No proof of delivery feature.

• Minimal data available to monitor on-time performance or driver efficiency.

How Shipday turned struggles into growth opportunities

Challenges before Shipday

Lack of tracking, inefficient processes, and limited data made delivery management difficult, leading to delays, disputes, and customer frustration.

Limited Visibility and Tracking

Pizza Guys’ notification system only informed customers when drivers were en route, offering no real-time tracking, proof of delivery, or data to measure driver efficiency.

Operational Inefficiencies

Without real-time insights, franchise owners struggled to manage deliveries effectively. Drivers could turn off location services unnoticed, making performance tracking nearly impossible.

Customer Experience Gaps

Customers lacked delivery transparency, leading to frequent inquiries and disputes. Without proof of delivery, stores faced more complaints, increasing staff workload and response times.

With Shipday

Real-time tracking, automated processes, and performance data helped Pizza Guys optimize operations, improve efficiency, and enhance customer trust.

Greater Visibility & Performance Tracking

Shipday provided real-time insights, helping store owners identify inefficiencies, track driver locations, and optimize delivery operations for better performance and faster service.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Real-time tracking and proof-of-delivery photos improved transparency, reduced disputes, and gave customers confidence in their deliveries, creating a smoother, more reliable experience.

Significant On-Time Delivery Improvements

On-time delivery rates improved from 90-92% to over 98% within weeks. Drivers quickly adapted, appreciating Shipday’s efficiency, and franchise owners plan to expand its adoption.

“We have seen a clear difference in performance at the stores using Shipday. The goal is to make this a standard across all our locations.”
