“Where is my order?” answers

Answer customers’ order and delivery status questions from live order and tracking data, after confirming who is asking, and hand delayed, damaged or disputed shipments to a coordinator with the details attached.

Where it starts

The trigger.

A customer asks about an order or delivery by chat, email or phone message.

How it runs today

  • Agents look up the same order and tracking screens many times a day.
  • Customers wait for answers that already exist in the tracking data.
  • Problem shipments get the same generic reply as routine questions.

The workflow

Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

  1. 01 / Verify

    Confirm the customer’s identity with the order number and a second detail before sharing anything.

  2. 02 / Look up

    Read the order status, carrier tracking and expected delivery date.

  3. 03 / Answer

    Reply with the current status and next expected update, in plain language.

  4. 04 / Hand off

    Send delayed, damaged, lost or disputed shipments to a coordinator with the order and tracking attached.

Where people stay in control

Approval points.

  • Coordinators handle every delay, damage claim, refund and dispute.
  • Read-only access to order and tracking data; no changes are made to orders.
  • Order details are shared only after the customer is verified.

How we would measure it

Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

Share of status questions answered without an agent.

Time to answer status questions.

Problem shipments handed to a coordinator on first contact.
