How a D2C apparel brand restructured its shipping operations with ShipyBox
A pan-India apparel brand consolidated multiple couriers, automated NDR and shifted to D+1 COD remittance.
The challenge
A pan-India D2C apparel merchant was scaling rapidly and shipping across thousands of pincodes. Their single-courier setup struggled with high RTO in Tier-2 cities, slow COD remittance was locking up working capital, and customer-support tickets kept climbing because of delayed deliveries.
What we did
We migrated the merchant to ShipyBox's intelligent courier allocation engine that scores every pincode against multiple courier partners in real time. Weight reconciliation was automated to claim back overcharges every billing cycle. NDR handling was moved to a buyer-confirmation flow over WhatsApp, surfacing fake-NDR patterns instead of letting them slip into RTO.
Operational outcomes (qualitative, not benchmarked)
- Multi-courier allocation by pincode and SKU instead of single-courier routing
- Weight overcharges flagged and claimed automatically
- WhatsApp-confirmed NDR re-attempts replacing manual support tickets
- D+1 COD remittance replacing a multi-day cash-waiting cycle
What's next
The merchant is exploring tighter integration between ShipyBox AI RTO Shield and their pre-dispatch QA workflow.
