Supplier Order Follow-up Agent
Follows up orders with suppliers: confirmations, shipping dates and problems.
The challenge
People wait in queues for answers and simple requests, and staff spend their day repeating the same information.
How it works
- 1Someone gets in touch by phone or chat.
- 2The agent works out who they are and what they need, and asks if anything is unclear.
- 3It finds the right information in your data.
- 4It completes the request in your system, after confirming with the person.
- 5If a member of staff is needed, it hands over with the full conversation.
Your people stay in control
The agent confirms before it changes anything, and hands over to a member of staff whenever a request is outside what it is allowed to do.
