From phone-only tracking to full-chain GPS visibility

In the early days of first mile, the question clients asked most was: "Where is my cargo?"

Back then the common practice was manual checks by customer service: a client calls, the agent asks operations, operations asks the carrier — half an hour gone in one round. Once volume grew, this path completely jammed.

This year we did one thing: organize cargo milestone data into a form clients can look up themselves.

• Standardized milestones — turned scattered communication into fixed milestones: picked up, in warehouse, declared, departed, in transit, customs, delivering, delivered;
• Centralized information — all client milestone data gathered in one place, no longer scattered across each salesperson's chat history;
• Open lookup — clients can look up by bill-of-lading number themselves, without waiting for a reply.

This looks like a technical matter, but it is really a shift in service philosophy: hand the initiative on information to the client, instead of keeping it as a bargaining chip.
