"It saves us thirty seconds to a minute per record... once people have stopped adding addresses manually they never want to go back."
Whether you’re recording customer information internally or providing your own contact details when buying online, form-filling is a time consuming task that’s open to mistakes.
Missed deliveries and poor service
A simple mistyped postcode in an e-commerce form can set off a chain of events leading to a missed delivery. The customer is oblivious to the mistake, yet it’s you that has to bear the cost of redelivering the goods and the wrath of the customer for providing poor service. The irony is that you can guarantee that they won’t be returning to your site, all because of an error that they’ve made.
