Why Cogent2

Strategic Mistakes
Even with experienced operational teams, strategic missteps can undermine InPost's benefits. We analyse past decisions and build more robust future plans.
Impact: Missed opportunity to reduce customer service load and increase post-purchase loyalty; higher returns processing costs than necessary.
Cogent Approach: We audit checkout and returns journeys, recommending strategic messaging and workflow simplification to highlight InPost's paperless returns advantage and drive adoption.
Impact: Reduced conversion rates, lost sales from customers seeking convenient pickup, and a suboptimal delivery experience for existing customers.
Cogent Approach: We conduct a thorough network coverage analysis and integrate real-time locker availability strategies into the checkout flow, ensuring InPost is offered where it's most impactful.
Impact: Eroded gross margin, reduced profitability on parcels, and finance loses trust when projected delivery costs are inaccurate. This breaks first for finance.
Cogent Approach: We perform a forensic audit of current configurations and invoicing against InPost's rate card, implementing controls and processes to eliminate surcharges and ensure accurate cost projection.
