Answer a client ticket
Starts when: A depositor raises a ticket from the client workspace and it appears in «Client tickets» with the status «New».
- In «Support Tickets», click «Client tickets» and use the search field to find the ticket by number, subject or client.
- Click the row to open the detail panel; check the client, category, «Priority», and the linked order or shipment if one is shown.
- Click «Assign to Me»; the status changes from «New» to «Assigned» and the ticket is yours.
- Read the conversation in the detail panel to see what the client has already written and what has been answered.
- Search «Knowledge articles» for an approved answer to the question before you write your own.
- Type your answer in «Reply to client» and click «Send»; the message is added to the thread and the client sees it in their workspace.
- Follow the ticket until the client's issue is settled; if it needs the carrier or a decision you cannot take, continue with the escalation or compensation process.
Result: The client has a written answer in the ticket thread, the ticket shows you as owner, and the «Service level» figures include your first response.
Next: The client replies in the same thread. Tickets that need a decision are escalated to the AfterSalesManager, who owns the after-sales desk.
Escalate a parcel problem and open a carrier claim
Starts when: A client ticket concerns a lost, damaged, delayed or misrouted parcel, or the client asks for something you cannot decide.
- Open the ticket in «Client tickets» and confirm the order or shipment shown in the detail panel.
- If the carrier is responsible, go to «Carrier claim», choose the «Carrier», enter the «Claim amount» and click «Create claim»; the claim appears on the ticket with its amount and status.
- If the ticket needs a lead's decision, enter an «Escalation reason» that explains what is needed.
- Click «Escalate»; the ticket status changes to «Escalated».
- Tell the client in «Reply to client» what has been done and what happens next, then click «Send».
Result: The carrier claim is recorded on the ticket and, if escalated, the ticket shows «Escalated» with your reason for the next person.
Next: The AfterSalesManager takes over escalated tickets; you keep answering the client in the thread.
Propose a client compensation
Starts when: A client is owed money for a parcel problem (for example a lost or broken package) and the ticket allows a compensation entry.
- Open the ticket in «Client tickets» and scroll to «Client compensation».
- Enter the «Compensation amount», choose the currency and add a «Reason code».
- Click «Enter»; the entry appears with the status «Entered».
- The entry now waits for approval by a second person; you cannot approve your own entry.
- If you entered a wrong amount, click «Withdraw» while the entry is still «Entered», then enter the corrected amount.
- Check the ticket later: once a lead has approved it, the entry shows «Approved» with the date, and you can inform the client in «Reply to client».
Result: A compensation proposal with amount, currency and reason is recorded on the ticket and waits for approval by a second person.
Next: The AfterSalesManager (or another role with approval authority) approves or rejects the entry; only approved amounts are shown to the client.
Handle an internal desk ticket
Starts when: A colleague needs help from the support desk, or you need to record an internal issue yourself.
- In «Support Tickets», click «Desk queue»; to record a new issue, click «+ New Ticket».
- In «Create Support Ticket», fill in «Subject», «Description», «Priority» and «Category», then click «Create Ticket»; the ticket appears in the queue as «Open».
- Use the status filters «Open», «In progress», «Resolved» and «After-sales» to find the tickets that need work.
- Click a ticket to open it and click «Assign to Me»; an open ticket moves to «In progress».
- When the issue is handled, click «Close Ticket»; the ticket moves to «Resolved» and leaves the open work.
Result: The internal ticket is owned, worked and shown as «Resolved» in the «Desk queue».
Next: The colleague who raised the ticket sees it resolved; anything that needs a manager's decision goes to the AfterSalesManager or the PartnerManager.
