NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® minimizes delivery failures using precise address data from Loqate.

NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® single-serve coffee machines, a global brand under the Nestle umbrella and manufactured by De’Longhi, have significantly reduced failed postal deliveries. This improvement is attributed to the enhanced accuracy of address data provided by Loqate's smart address verification tool, integrated into their Magento ecommerce platform.
"We were rebuilding a new ecommerce website and we felt that it was a perfect opportunity for us to introduce address validation as part of the process to improve our customer journey.
We also wanted to mitigate the problem of failed random postal deliveries. It is essential that customer parcels arrive on time at the right address. Failed deliveries have a negative impact on the business in terms of reputational damage caused by dissatisfied customers who will not use us again or recommend NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto to friends or family members. There’s also a significant cost involved in rescheduling a delivery that has failed the first time as there’s admin time plus the postage cost."
We know that address verification from Loqate has helped to improve the customer journey and data quality which has had a positive impact on conversion and delivery rates.

"The procurement team went through a rigorous tender process and Loqate came out on top because the service was so compatible with the Magento platform and additionally the technology has international postal code validation capabilities. With an already established customer base in America, Europe, Australia and Asia it made sense to have a solution that was effective over a range of overseas territories."
