What is the Confidence Score?

The Confidence Score is a cutting-edge tool designed to predict the likelihood of a successful delivery based on a wealth of delivery data. This paid feature integrates seamlessly into your operations through either a direct API or our Protection Rule Orchestration. By providing an objective, data-driven score, the Confidence Score helps retailers assess the potential risks of delivering to a specific address.

With this feature, businesses can improve their delivery strategy by reducing losses, mitigating fraud, and enhancing overall delivery security.

How Does the Confidence Score Work?

The process is simple yet powerful:

• Risk Assessment: The system processes delivery data, including package theft reports, delivery attempts, and returns volume. Each address submitted is assessed using this historical data, leading to the generation of a Confidence Score.
• Score Interpretation: The score is a number between 100 and 1000, with a lower score indicating higher confidence. A score of 100 signals high confidence in a successful delivery, while 1000 reflects lower confidence. Retailers can act based on these insights to ensure optimal delivery decisions.

For businesses using Delivery Solutions, this means that with a simple API request, they can determine the confidence level for each delivery, ensuring proactive actions are taken, such as requiring signatures for high-risk addresses.

Key Benefits of the Confidence Score

The Confidence Score brings a host of advantages to your delivery operations, including:

1. Proactive Decision-Making: The Confidence Score allows retailers to make informed decisions before dispatching orders. With the data at their fingertips, businesses can choose to flag orders that require extra verifications, helping to avoid costly delivery failures. Studies have show that?address verification can reduce cart abandonment rates by up to 20%, demonstrating the importance or proactive measures in the checkout process.
2. Loss Prevention: Identifying high-risk addresses early in the process means that retailers can adjust delivery methods or add security measures, such as requiring identification upon delivery. This drastically reduces the chance of non-delivery, improving overall fulfillment success. In fact, package theft affects approximately 11% of Americans annually, highlighting the significant impact this issue has on both businesses and consumers.
3. Fraud Mitigation: Using data-backed insights, the Confidence Score helps businesses reduce the risk of fraudulent activity in their delivery channels. By identifying problematic addresses, retailers can take preventive measures to safeguard their operations. E-commerce fraud losses are projected to reach $48 billion globally in 2023, underscoring the necessity for effective fraud prevention strategies.

Seamless Integration Options

Retailers can leverage the Confidence Score through two flexible integration options:

1. API Integrations: Businesses can incorporate the Confidence Score directly into their systems via our API. The score is provided within the Delivery Assurance Confidence Score API response, allowing businesses to add flags or additional delivery conditions based on the score.
2. Protection Rule Orchestration: For retailers who prefer a no-code solution, Delivery Solutions offers an orchestration engine that automates the process. Based on the Confidence Score, the system dynamically adjusts order-level requirements, such as requiring signatures or ID verification, ensuring that businesses are always taking the best course of action.
