Introduction: The Cost of Poor Communication in International Logistics

The international logistics industry is facing unprecedented communication challenges. Statistics show that over 65% of international logistics disputes stem from poor information communication, and an average of 5.2 cross-border communications are required to resolve each problematic package. Due to time zone differences, language barriers, and fragmented communication channels, logistics companies often encounter the following issues:

• Customer Churn: 28% of customers abandon cooperation due to opaque logistics information
• Increased Costs: Communication costs for issue resolution account for 15-20% of total operating costs
• Low Efficiency: Customer service staff need to switch between 3-5 systems daily to handle inquiries
• Frequent Disputes: Lack of effective communication records makes liability determination difficult

These pain points not only affect the delivery of individual orders but also risk damaging the company’s brand reputation and customer relationships. Tailored to the unique needs of the international logistics industry, IntBell provides a comprehensive communication solution, building a full-cycle communication loop from shipping notifications to issue resolution.
