What is ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)?

Expected Time of Arrival or Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is the time a transport system is expected to arrive at its destination.

Automation in deliveries can help to figure out estimated delivery times and fix any delivery delays and faults as well. Customers can be duly informed in case of any delivery delays and provided with an alternate pick-up location, drop-off time as well.
