Time‑slot delivery

On‑time delivery starts at checkout.

Let your customers pick the delivery day and time window while they shop. Our GAIA technology offers the slots available, plans the delivery run and lets customers track their parcel in real time. You give them more convenient, more reliable delivery and stand out from your competitors.

How it works

Customers know in advance when their parcel will arrive.

With time-slot delivery, customers choose the delivery day and a time window of one, two or four hours right in the cart. For example, Thursday between 5 and 7 pm. Nobody has to wait in all day for the courier, and they can plan the delivery around their own day.

Why time slots

Customers don’t want to wait in all day.

Being able to choose a delivery time is one of the things online shoppers expect most. For online shops, it is a chance to make buying easier and stand out from the competition.

What it brings your online shop

When customers choose the delivery time, they are more likely to be ready to receive the parcel. That helps cut failed delivery attempts, the costs that come with them and the questions reaching your customer support. It also makes for a better customer experience, which can decide whether they order again.

From order to delivery

From the cart to the door, in four steps.

01Choosing a time window

Right in the cart, the customer picks the delivery day and time from the slots available.

02Automatic planning

Our GAIA platform adds the order to the delivery plan, taking into account the chosen time and the capacity available.

03Route optimisation

GAIA optimises courier routes and helps run the delivery operation so the promised time windows are kept while capacity is used efficiently.

04Delivery and parcel tracking

The customer can follow the delivery in real time, including the courier’s expected arrival, and receives the parcel in the chosen time window.
