The context
The after-sales team receives requests about faults, spare parts, warranties and delivery tracking. Their level of detail varies, and several product ranges are involved. Coordinators must identify the appropriate specialist and collect enough information for that person to assess the issue, while maintaining visibility of requests that require special attention.
The problem to solve
Tickets sometimes move between queues because the equipment or request remains unclear. A customer's stated urgency may differ from the documented situation. Coordinators spend time asking for serial numbers, usable fault descriptions and missing context before they can assign the request appropriately.
The proposed mission
- 01
Define a request taxonomy and test classification on authorized tickets, displaying the evidence behind each proposed route and identifying cases where the available context remains insufficient for a decision.
- 02
Prepare assignment suggestions and requests for clarification based on approved rules, submitting every proposed ticket change and customer message to a person who can review and authorize the action.
- 03
Compare suggestions with coordinator decisions during a measured pilot, then determine the production scope and potential integrations after reviewing incorrect classifications, ambiguous cases and situations requiring particular care.
Intended benefits
- Less time sorting and reassigning requests, leaving more time for resolution.
- Shared visibility of routing criteria and the information still needed from customers.
- More consistent qualification while uncertain cases remain with the responsible human coordinators.
How to measure the outcome
- Routing suggestions approved
- Reassignments required
- Missing details identified
The baseline and objectives are defined during scoping, then compared with pilot results.
