NDR & RTO Management FAQs
Common questions about automated WhatsApp NDR outreach, fake attempt disputes, and carrier API integrations.
Struggling with high COD RTO?
Our logistics specialists can audit your carrier NDR performance and set up automated WhatsApp recovery flows.
Schedule a Walkthrough →What is NDR in e-commerce and why does it cause high RTO?
A Non-Delivery Report (NDR) is generated by a courier when a parcel delivery attempt fails (reasons include: customer unavailable, incorrect address, customer refused, or cash not ready). If the merchant does not intervene quickly, the parcel is flagged as Return to Origin (RTO), incurring double shipping costs.
How does PointNXT automate NDR resolution via WhatsApp?
The second a courier logs an NDR webhook, PointNXT triggers an automated, interactive WhatsApp message to the buyer. The customer can tap buttons to confirm a re-attempt date, provide a landmark/corrected address, or switch to digital UPI payment before the courier returns the parcel.
How does PointNXT identify fake delivery attempts by courier delivery boys?
PointNXT cross-references courier attempt timestamps against buyer responses. If a delivery boy marks 'Customer Refused' or 'Premises Closed' but the customer responds via WhatsApp that no courier visited or called, PointNXT flags a Fake Delivery Attempt and logs an automated dispute with the courier manager.
Does PointNXT integrate with all major Indian logistics providers?
Yes. PointNXT supports automated two-way NDR API communication with Delhivery, Blue Dart, Xpressbees, Shadowfax, Ecom Express, DTDC, and aggregators like Shiprocket and NimbusPost.
What percentage of NDRs can be successfully converted to delivered orders?
E-commerce brands using PointNXT typically achieve a 35%–45% NDR conversion rate, recovering thousands of orders and saving lakhs in forward and reverse freight each month.
