Customer communications · Last-mile & courier
Answer where-is-my-package without an agent.
Every late or missing parcel becomes a ticket, and every ticket starts with an agent opening three tabs for the last scan, the POD, and the route ETA.
The reality
Most contacts are a lookup, not a conversation.
The inbound queue is dominated by the same handful of questions: where is it, why is it late, it says delivered but I don't have it. Each one is answerable from data the agent has to assemble by hand — the last scan event, the proof-of-delivery photo, the GPS breadcrumb, the route ETA. The work is retrieval, then a clear reply.
The operator does the retrieval and the reply together. It reads the tracking history and POD, checks the route status, determines what actually happened to the parcel, and responds in the customer's channel. When the evidence shows a genuine failure, it opens the claim or redelivery instead of bouncing the customer to a human.
