Journey of a package

Every delivery is a small sequence of messages.

At scale

Every sent message is a separate delivery row.

Logistics volume compounds fast. At 500 deliveries a day with 4 SMS touches each, you're at 60,000 messages a month. We scope the infrastructure accordingly.

Monthly volume

≈60,000

We're building out the public API so these sends can fire from your order system automatically, with idempotency keys and signed delivery webhooks. Until then, scheduled campaigns and CSV uploads carry the workflow.
