How to Improve On-Time Delivery

By Anna Lapezo 8 min read

On-time delivery is a KPI that shows how well and how often a company meets its delivery promises. A good OTD percentage to aim for is 95% or above. Research shows that 53% of consumers view the post-purchase stage as the most emotional part of their shopping journey.

Why Is On-Time Delivery So Important?

  • Improved customer satisfaction and higher levels of trust
  • More repeat purchases and strong competitive advantage
  • Fewer returns and reduced operational costs
