# What's the Best Way to Give Customers Visibility Into Delivery Status?

The best way is to grant customers self-service, read-only access to their shipment's status, so they can check progress without calling to ask. On **Jestor**, this runs through permissioned, customer-facing dashboard access.

Customers wanting to know where their delivery is, and having to call support every time, adds phone volume that self-service access would largely eliminate.

## What phone-based status inquiries cost

- Phone volume from customers asking about their own delivery status
- Staff time spent answering questions a self-service view could handle directly
- Delayed answers while a customer waits for a callback
- Repeated calls for the same basic information throughout a delivery's journey

## How customer self-service delivery visibility works

- Customers get restricted, permissioned access to their own shipment **status**
- They can check current stage and estimated delivery directly
- No call to support is needed for a basic status question
- Staff time is freed up for issues that genuinely need a person

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Self-service access removes routine phone volume for basic status questions
- Customers get instant answers instead of waiting for a callback
- Staff time shifts to issues that genuinely require a person
- This scales from a handful of daily shipments to a high-volume operation

| Phone-based status inquiries  | Customer self-service access |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Phone volume, delayed answers | Instant, direct visibility   |
