NDR automation catches every Non-Delivery Report the moment a courier logs a failed delivery attempt, and instantly triggers an SMS or WhatsApp follow-up for address correction, reattempt confirmation, or rescheduling — recovering shipments that would otherwise return to origin.

NDR Management — FAQs

Everything you need to know

An NDR, or Non-Delivery Report, is logged by a courier the moment a delivery attempt fails — because the customer was unavailable, the address was incomplete, the order was refused, or similar. It signals that the shipment needs action to avoid becoming a full Return-to-Origin (RTO).

Instead of waiting for a manual daily report, Parcelmind catches each NDR in real time and immediately triggers an automated SMS or WhatsApp message to the customer for address correction, reattempt confirmation, or rescheduling — resolving many failed deliveries before they escalate to a full return.

Any courier-reported failed delivery attempt — customer unavailable, incorrect address, refused delivery, or unreachable phone number — automatically triggers the corresponding recovery workflow within minutes of the courier logging the NDR.

Yes. The automated WhatsApp/SMS message includes a self-service link where customers can confirm or correct their delivery address and preferred reattempt time without needing to call support.

Yes, NDR automation runs uniformly across every courier connected to your Parcelmind account, so the same recovery workflow applies regardless of which courier is handling the shipment.

Manual NDR handling typically relies on a daily report reviewed hours or a day later, by which time the reattempt window may have passed. Automation acts within minutes of the NDR being logged, dramatically improving the odds of a successful reattempt.

Yes. Orders flagged with a high RTO Score are automatically prioritized for faster, more proactive NDR outreach, closing the loop between prediction and prevention.
