Customers love live tracking notifications. As long as these notifications are:
Timely.
Concise.
On brand.
The importance of clear and timely shipping updates is evident. But why is it essential to keep your delivery notifications on-brand?
Consistent branding creates trust and improves customer loyalty.
Creating a smooth, on-brand delivery experience will make your company memorable and ensure customers actually follow your shipping updates and monitor the delivery progress.
What better way to increase the rate of successful deliveries and yield the full power of live tracking?
Read on to learn how to white-label your live tracking page using Track-POD's brand-new customization features.
Following our most recent update, Track-POD's Advanced Plus and Enterprise subscription plan users can customize their live tracking pages.
Now, in addition to adding your company logo, you can change the colors of the key elements of the live tracking page.
Driver pin.
Client pin.

You can also choose which elements will be visible on your live tracking page. With a toggle switch, you can add or remove elements such as the customer's number in line, driver's name, goods info, and more.

Why use custom branding?
Custom branding shouldn't be reserved for big companies with custom-developed software solutions for delivery management. Track-POD allows small and mid-sized businesses to communicate their brand and stand out.
Let's look at some of the benefits of custom branding.
1. Consistent experience
An average buyer will interact with your company across many touch points.
They come to your website and place an order.
They receive a confirmation email.
They get a live tracking notification.
They get a Proof of Delivery document.
All of these are opportunities to communicate your brand and be remembered. With custom Proof of Delivery, branded emails, and a custom live tracking page, you can create a consistent delivery experience.
2. Increased trust
Going back to the touch points, customers may feel confused when receiving shipping notifications that don't look like your previous communication.
When clicking on a live tracking link, it's important that the customer feels safe and familiar with the layout and the looks of the page. This will increase the chances of the customer following the progress of their delivery and being available at their designated address when the order arrives.
In this way, custom branding improves the rate of successful deliveries.
3. Brand loyalty
Brand loyalty is not just a marketing buzzword. When deciding to buy from a company, customers tend to navigate toward the brands they recognize and can relate to.
Using the same colors supports brand recognition, improves trust, and increases customer loyalty.
Next time a customer is choosing which company to buy from, they'll go with the brand they know. Recognition is based on the visual perception first.
4. White-labeled feel
Custom-branded tracking pages used to be available exclusively to companies that develop their own software solutions. Now, even on a small budget, you can achieve the white-labeled feel.
At Track-POD, we believe that all delivery solutions should come out of the box. At the same time, we give you customization tools to adjust the system to your needs.
From unlimited custom fields to shipping labels and Proof of Delivery - you can improve Track-POD's ready-made solutions to fit your business better.

Track-POD now alerts dispatchers when a driver goes offline. You decide how long a driver can be idle or offline before the alert fires, and notifications can also arrive by email through your own mail service.
Track-POD now connects to Sage Accounting. Sales invoices or quotes arrive as delivery orders, and once the delivery is done, Sage gets the quantities that were actually delivered and, if you switch it on, the ePOD PDF attached to the invoice.
Each shipper in Track-POD can now have its own shipping label and scanning rules, and those settings take priority over your account-wide ones for that shipper's orders. The Advanced template feature lets you build the label yourself. Available on the Ultimate plan.
