The Approach

The brand then turned to Zippee. Zippee’s data intelligence module analysed Clinikally’s product demand down to the stock-keeping unit (SKU) level and helped forecast sufficient inventory to maintain across the Zippee dark store network. With this insight, Clinikally was able to offer same-day delivery for orders placed before 3 PM and next-day delivery for orders placed after 3 PM in NCR and other metro cities in India. This capability drastically reduced waiting times for customers, particularly benefiting those requiring urgent prescription-grade medications.

In addition, the company also implemented Zippee’s verified WhatsApp tool, allowing consumers to monitor real-time order statuses. Additionally, the cash-on-delivery (COD) verification system prompts customers to reconfirm orders before dispatch, reducing our logistics costs. Furthermore, a dedicated Zippee Customer Success Manager works regularly with our team to brainstorm on ROI growth.

Business Impact

After partnering with Zippee, Clinikally experienced significant improvements across several key metrics

Return to Origin (RTO) Rates

One of the most notable impacts was the steep 81% reduction in RTO rates for the pin codes and SKUs serviced by Zippee. This not only saved forward logistics costs incurred on RTO orders but also streamlined inventory management.

Improved Customer Loyalty

There was a 56% increase in repeat purchase rates on the Clinikally website for Zippee-fulfilled orders compared to non-Zippee orders. This directly contributed to higher brand.com sales.

Higher COD Fulfillment Rates 

Clinikally’s finance team recorded a 92% cash-on-delivery (COD) order fulfilment rate, with more Zippee customers returning and opting for non-COD payment methods.

Reduced Delivery Complaints

The number of WISMO (Where Is My Order) and delivery-support escalations for Zippee-fulfilled orders was 74% lower than those for courier-fulfilled orders, despite similar volumes.

Key Achievements

“Working with Zippee has been a company-defining experience for us. Not only have they incorporated every nuance of our unique platform and customer service model into their rapid delivery systems, but have also helped substantially improve relationships with existing customers,” said Arjun Soin, founder, Clinikally.

“We’ve also enabled Clinikally to extend its brand beyond checkout, to ensure a consistent post-purchase experience that is every bit as on-brand as the initial shopping experience– whether online or offline. Our full-stack technology platform helped streamline prescription verification workflows & end-to-end fulfilment from Order Routing, Shipping Automation, Order Tracking, IVR Support, NDR Rescheduling to Inventory Management,” said Pravir Kalra, head of sales, Zippee.
