Main page

The main page of the client account displays a table with statistics on orders sent to the courier service company.

To see the desired group of orders, click on the corresponding cell of the table. The Tracking tab will open with a table of orders according to the cell filters.

• cash to handover — the amount of money the courier service has accepted from the recipients and has not yet given back to the client;
• non-cash to handover — the amount of money taken on orders when paying by card, but not yet transferred to the client.

Balances are updated at least once a day. The table is displayed if at least one amount is greater than zero.

To set up the display of customer balances on the main page, contact MeaSoft support.

Checking the trustworthiness of customers

When you place an order manually you can see the customer's trustworthiness score. It is made up of the ratio of orders that were bought out and returned without buyout using different courier services. Orders with cash on delivery have higher value.

The score is displayed in the New Order main menu item in the Recipient phone field as a colored circle. Color scheme:

• green - high rating;
• yellow - neutral rating;
• red - low rating.

When you hover over the colored circle, the rating percentage is displayed. Neutral is considered a value of 40-60%, values below fall into the red zone, above - into the green zone.

Notes.

• Rating of 50% may be the customer's real rating or an indicator of lack of data.
• Rating depends on the order status (delivered/cancelled), type of payment/prepayment, number of attempts of delivery by courier. Each of the factors has a different value, so a cancelled order has a stronger effect on the negative rating than the same delivered order - on the positive rating.

To qualify for the rule, the order must meet the specified criteria: cost of delivery, region or city, customer name or customer group name.
If the order meets the conditions of several rules, priority is given to the rule for a customer, then for a customer's group.
