Operational case routing and resolution support

Classify incoming operations cases, match their accounts and apply customer procedures before routing work and preparing the response.

Logistics

Where the work begins

A large third-party logistics provider processes more than 3,000 customer-service cases each day. Manual routing previously consumed roughly 11,000 hours annually and struggled to absorb large weekly volume spikes.

The problem

Employees had to identify the customer, choose the correct route and apply account-specific rules under service-level pressure. Knowledge stayed with individual reps, and unassigned cases accumulated overnight.

How the workflow works

Select a stage to see the records it uses, the action it takes and the result.

Records

Inbound case
Contains the shipping issue or operational request to classify and validate.
Customer account
Account matching connects the case with the correct customer context.
Company procedures
Standard operating procedures and account-specific business rules supply the routing logic.
Operational knowledge
Existing systems and experienced reps’ knowledge provide the material needed for documents and responses.

Oversight

Responses are drafted for human review. Exceptions automatically escalate to employees.

What changes for the business

Less unassigned work

Automated routing moves incoming cases into the appropriate workflow.

More throughput

Reps spend their time on exceptions and resolution instead of repeating account lookup and routing decisions.

Industry outcome

The logistics deployment reported a 98% reduction in routing cycle time and 3.2 times throughput per employee across more than 3,000 cases a day.

Measured within four months; routing and throughput results concern the operations case workstream.
