Best Buy is redefining the delivery and installation experience by introducing a dynamic, real-time tracking system that puts customers in control like never before. Leveraging advanced AI technology, this new feature transforms the way customers monitor the arrival of their purchases, and is especially beneficial when it comes to deliveries for large items like big-screen TVs, refrigerators, and home appliances.
On the day your item is set to arrive, the Best Buy app springs into action, tracking the driver’s route with precision, thanks to real-time traffic data integration. As your delivery or installation draws near, the app’s tracking map zooms in, offering a street-level view of the driver’s location. It also notifies the user when the driver arrives to ensure smooth delivery.
"Our new live-delivery tracking experience removes the frustration so many of us have felt when we’re given a window of time to wait around at home for an appointment or a larger delivery to arrive," Brian Tilzer, the company’s chief digital, analytics and technology officer, said in a statement.
