When shipping is treated only as a cost, every customer receives essentially the same proposition. The retailer needed a model that could reflect when customers wanted delivery, what they valued and how savings could strengthen the overall online experience.
The programme had to balance customer preference, pricing logic and operational scalability without losing sight of the commercial objective. Four requirements shaped the work.




NTT DATA designed the programme and implemented the pricing, refund and priority mechanisms described in the source. Each intervention addressed a distinct requirement in the delivery proposition.
Customer delivery preferences and cost sensitivities were analysed to inform the programme design.
Plans were defined by delivery day and time slot, giving customers differentiated options.
Eligible delivery savings were returned through eCoupons, connecting the shipping model to a tangible customer benefit.
Priority rules supported differentiated delivery handling and the rollout of plans across business areas and demand periods.
The source reports a significantly improved delivery experience and satisfaction, higher ROI from optimized delivery pricing, increased online sales and customer loyalty, and plans that scaled across peak and non-peak periods. Because no figures, baselines or measurement periods are provided, these outcomes should remain qualitative until validated for publication.
