Narvar is an amazing and easy-to-use tool that we implemented to provide more robust shipping, delivered, and delayed status notifications to our customers regarding their recent orders! Not only can you track analytics, but you can also make the pages as dynamic as you want to create a completely different way to educate customers on the pages they frequent most.

I cannot think of a scenario where this wouldn't be beneficial. This has not only helped us communicate with our customers and educate them in areas where we may not get to but it also helps create a more unified brand experience. This tool is perfect for any brand, no matter the size!
At my previous company, Narvar powered post-purchase order tracking and returns. The returns solution is the best solution they have. It helped reduce return call volume significantly. Narvar has extremely customer-friendly solutions at a steep cost. They have many competitors that are less expensive.
Pros
Returns solution.
Customer success.
Innovative solutions.
Cons
Pricing is much more expensive than competitors.
UI Design is often lacking.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are having issues with returns, Narvar offers a great solution. The other solutions are nice-to-haves, but not must-haves. Their pricing is on the higher end.
Our Ecom team manages the setup and marketing aspects of Narvar, but the end product is used by Customer Service as well, since it provides shipping estimates for customers and customer feedback for the team. Instead of the generic UPS/Fedex/Shipping Courier tracking number landing page, Narvar provides a branded landing page that allows us to drive purchasers back to the site and a smoother experience.
Pros
Easy to read estimated delivery date and text notification opt-in reduces customer frustration.
Ability to capture customer feedback on shipping experience.
Ability to drive customers back to the site for potential repurchase
Cons
Adding other functionality beyond the basic technology can be costly for a small to medium business. Narvar's grown rapidly since we started using them and their baseline costs for add-ons are out of our price range for post-purchase/returns.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you're not on a platform that has a branded post-purchase landing page or in-email estimated delivery date script, Narvar provides this experience. It's a nice-to-have for any brand that wants to provide a seamless, branded shopping experience for their customers. Narvar's grown rapidly and it seems they are increasing costs, which may be prohibitive and hard to justify for smaller companies.
We used Narvar's tracking & returns features. The tracking gave our customers a much better experience from a UX perspective. Prior to Narvar we just linked customers to the FedEx or UPS page; not a great experience.
Pros
Their client success team is pretty attentive & helpful.
Ease of using the tool.
UX Design of the platform tools
Cons
Client success proactively providing metrics & “checking in” with clients; not just when there’s an issue.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for giving customers an easy to use, online method of tracking orders or initiating a return.
The primary use of Narvar was to make both our online and in-store experience as consistent as possible. In the store, our customers were given white glove service with consistent messaging/branding. When you translate that to online, many times you lost control of how the user might communicate with you. In our situation, our users were given a FedEx tracking number to track their package. While the information was correct, the experience was lacking since the user just linked to FedEx.com. We lost all visibility and messaging with our user.
In order to correct this messaging issue with little IT resources, we looked to Narvar and their turn-key package tracking solution. Within one month, our users were given tracking information that was displayed/branded with our brand. Additionally, we had the ability to continue the conversation with future recommends and ratings/reviews.
Pros
Narvar offered us a turn-key solution that we had up and running in less than a month.
Narvar offered several out of the box widgets (solutions) to help build/customize content (calendar view, milestone icons, SMS messaging and personalize content based on items purchased).
Narvar's solution is scalable/expandable to include returns (once we are ready).
Cons
Narvar could do a better job at keeping in touch with their custom and informing them on ways to improve their experience. Many times, I had to be the one to reach out.
Monthly review meetings were often missed with limited reporting. Narvar finally created a reporting dashboard which helped eliminate the need for frequent meetings.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are an e-commerce retailer that needs out of the box functionality to enhance your shipment tracking, then I highly recommend Narvar. The monthly spend far out weighs the cost of having an internal team build this out --- not to mention the time it takes to spin the solution up.
