How SMS Notifications Improve Customer Trust in Last-Mile Logistics

LUMO Product Team•September 28, 2026

In East Africa, SMS remains the most reliable communication channel. With a 98% open rate across feature phones and smartphones, transactional SMS ensures your delivery updates are received instantly.

Building Merchant Authority

When a customer receives an automated SMS confirming their purchase dispatch along with a secure tracking link, it signals professionalism and legitimacy.

Reducing Delivery Failure Rates

Unannounced deliveries often result in absent recipients. Sending an SMS notification when the driver is en route or nearby gives customers time to prepare or designate a representative to receive the parcel.
