The problem
Order changes arrive by phone and email all morning, right up to cut-off, while customer service is also chasing trucks and allocations. A missed change means a short delivery, a deduction and an unhappy buyer.
How it works
- Answers buyer calls and emails to the order desk, day or night
- Finds the purchase order and checks the change against the cut-off
- Checks stock available to promise, without touching other customers' allocations
- Offers a split delivery when a line is short and says when the rest will ship
- Updates the order in the ERP and emails a fresh confirmation
- Passes credit holds, price disputes and very large orders to the customer service lead
What it connects to
- CallerHi, it's Dean from Harbourlight's Wiri distribution centre. Can I add to PO 55812 for tomorrow?
- AgentHi Dean, yes, changes are open until 11am today. What would you like to add?
- CallerAnother 60 cases of the Sea Salt Crackers and 40 of the Sparkling Feijoa.
- AgentThe Sea Salt is fine, that takes the line to 240 cases. Feijoa is tight until Wednesday's production run, so I can add 25 cases tomorrow and send the other 15 on Friday. Does that work?
- CallerYes, split it.
- AgentDone. PO 55812 now has 240 Sea Salt and 115 Feijoa for tomorrow's 6am slot, with 15 Feijoa to follow on Friday. The updated confirmation is on its way to your inbox.
