Order-status service and exception handoff

An AI worker answers order-status requests from the ERP and connected carrier tracking, then routes unusual cases with the customer history attached.

Distribution

Where the work begins

For a distributor, purchase-order intake is followed by a second stream of calls and emails: customers checking receipt, shipment timing and tracking. Those requests reach the same inside sales team that prepares quotations.

The problem

Reps repeatedly look up information already held in the order system. Returns and disputes need different handling, and forwarding a bare message forces the receiving team to reconstruct the case.

How the workflow works

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

Records

Customer request
Calls and emails ask whether an order arrived, when it ships or how to track it.
ERP order record
The existing order system provides the status information used in the response.
Carrier tracking
Tracking information adds shipment detail where the carrier connection is available.
Case history
Order and customer context accompany returns, disputes and other unusual requests.

Oversight

What changes for the business

More time for quoting

Inside sales spends less time repeatedly retrieving routine order information.

Quicker case understanding

Specialist teams receive the history at handoff and can start with the customer's actual problem.
