Fruugo Customer Story

Delivering an excellent post-purchase experience for Fruugo’s cross-border shoppers

Finding what you want from wherever you are

Fruugo, a global online marketplace, enables retailers to achieve worldwide reach, selling to shoppers in over forty countries.

Increasing customer satisfaction around the world

With an international customer base, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to providing a positive post-purchase experience. From different currencies to different couriers and processes to follow, there are so many places where things can go wrong. Especially when you don't have a system in place to track everything. To enhance the customer experience, Fruugo required a platform that enabled end-to-end parcel tracking information powered by timely, accurate, and concise tracking data.

With cross-border shopping becoming more commonplace, customers were expecting to track their parcels every step of the way—whether it’s coming from the UK, US, or Australia.

Fruugo is always striving to give its customers the best possible customer experience, and as part of this, providing as many customers as possible with accurate tracking information.

Solving customer pain points with a bespoke post-purchase experience

Fruugo chose AfterShip as their go-to solution to provide end-to-end tracking for all orders placed on the marketplace. Not only did AfterShip seamlessly integrate with Fruugo’s existing systems, but AfterShip also had the coverage they needed to support their retailers selling in all of the markets they serve.

They were also able to improve their overall customer experience. With AfterShip, Fruugo was able to design and implement their own tracking page, giving their customers an easy way to track packages right on their website. Each customer touchpoint carries Fruugo branding to keep the familiar look and feel of their marketplace shopping journey.

We use AfterShip to consolidate our consignment tracking data globally, to give our customers timely information about the location of their order, and to allow us to monitor and manage the customer experience our retailers are providing. Our work with AfterShip is an important part of our mission to make cross-border shopping easy.
