"In COD markets, the call center IS your conversion engine. We built a hard-gated confirmation system with an 18-call retry protocol that achieves 90% confirmation rates. No order ships until it's confirmed — that's how we protect your cash flow."
— Alaaeddine Nasloubi, CEO & Founder
FUFILLS operates a hard-gated confirmation system: no order ships until confirmed by our call center. With an 18-call retry protocol, multi-carrier execution, and regional SOP standardization, we achieve 90% confirmation rates across Latin America.
"We don't ship hope. We ship confirmed orders."
90% Confirmation Rate
Hard-gated system with 18-call retry protocol. Orders don't ship until confirmed — protecting your cash flow from RTO.
RTO Under 15%
Pre-ship validation of intent, address, and payment readiness. We filter out low-intent orders before they cost you money.
At FUFILLS, every confirmation call has one goal: delivery success.
Our agents are trained on COD-specific objection handling, regional dialects, and your product benefits. They build trust, confirm intent, and validate delivery details.
From order confirmation to post-delivery follow-up, we add the human layer that separates successful COD operations from failed ones.
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| 90% | Average confirmation rate across all campaigns. |
| 18 | Call attempts per order before marking unresponsive. |
| 12+ | Carrier integrations for multi-carrier execution. |
| 4 | Countries with standardized regional SOPs. |
Hard-gated confirmation means no order enters the fulfillment pipeline until it has been verbally confirmed by our call center. Unlike soft confirmation (SMS/WhatsApp only), hard-gated requires live voice confirmation of intent, address, and payment readiness.
Why Hard-Gating Matters for COD
- COD markets in LATAM see 25-40% RTO without confirmation
- Soft confirmation (SMS only) reduces RTO by ~10%
- Hard-gated voice confirmation reduces RTO by 30-40%
- Every unconfirmed shipment costs $8-15 in wasted logistics
Result: Our clients see RTO rates under 15% vs. industry average of 25-30%.
Why 18 calls? Because LATAM buyers are busy.
Our protocol is designed for the reality of COD buyers in Latin America: irregular work hours, multiple phone numbers, prepaid SIM cards that run out of credit, and buyers who need multiple touchpoints before committing.
Protocol Breakdown
Day 1: Initial Contact (6 calls) — Morning, afternoon, evening attempts. Different intervals to catch availability windows.
Day 2: Follow-Up (6 calls) — Shifted timing from Day 1. WhatsApp message sent if no answer.
Day 3: Final Push (6 calls) — Last attempt cycle. Order marked unresponsive only after all 18 attempts fail.
Every call is logged with timestamp, duration, and outcome. You see it all in your dashboard.
Single-carrier dependency is a COD killer. When one carrier has issues, your entire operation stops. We integrate with 12+ carriers across LATAM and route orders based on performance data.
- Smart Carrier Selection — Orders routed to the carrier with best performance for that specific zone.
- Automatic Failover — If primary carrier has issues, orders automatically route to backup.
- Rate Negotiation Power — Multi-carrier volume gives us leverage for better rates passed to you.
- Full Coverage — No zone left behind. Every address has a carrier option.
Every country in LATAM has different buyer behavior, carrier ecosystems, and payment cultures. We have built standardized SOPs that account for regional differences while maintaining consistent quality.
Mexico
Highest COD volume. 3-call minimum before shipping. CDMX same-day options.
Guatemala
Cash-dominant market. Address validation critical. Zone-based carrier routing.
Honduras
Emerging COD market. Extended call windows due to work patterns.
El Salvador
Compact geography. Fast delivery possible. High confirmation rates.
COD is not just logistics — it is finance. Cash collection, reconciliation, and remittance require specialized operations that most 3PLs do not have.
- Daily Reconciliation — Every order tracked from confirmation to cash collection to remittance.
- 7-Day Remittance Cycles — Cash collected and remitted weekly. No 30-day holds.
- Real-Time Cash Visibility — See collected vs. pending vs. remitted at any moment.
- Dispute Resolution — Dedicated team for carrier disputes, missing COD, and reconciliation issues.
