About Malomo
Malomo is a branded order tracking & analytics platform that helps connect users. Malomo proactively monitors every shipment you send and can detect dozens of different post-purchase events. Use those events to trigger email and SMS messages to your customers, or alert your Customer experience team of critical issues.
Send transactional messages directly from your marketing platforms so you can easily control the design and content. Transactional messages also see a 3x higher open and click-through rate. Use them to re-market and turn delivery from a cost center into a powerful retention engine.
