🎯 Problem Statement

Operational Inefficiencies Due to Lack of Access to Order Phone Number in Support/Admin Tool

In the existing system of the RBI Whitelabel Platform, users can enter a phone number at the time of placing an order that differs from the number in their profile. However, this order-specific phone number is not reflected in the Support/Admin Tool, which is critical for customer support operations. This oversight creates operational inefficiencies, as support operators are unable to contact customers on the most relevant phone number when addressing issues related to their orders.

The lack of access to the order-specific phone number significantly hinders the support team's ability to resolve customer issues quickly and effectively. This often results in increased call handling times, higher stress levels for support operators, and greater customer frustration. The ability to promptly reach a customer is vital for resolving issues such as delivery problems, order modifications, and payment disputes.

Not having the correct contact information readily available can lead to longer resolution times, negatively affecting order fulfillment rates and overall customer satisfaction. This gap in our system contributes to inefficiencies that ultimately impact the business's bottom line. Providing support teams with access to the order-specific phone number will enhance operational efficiency, reduce customer wait times, and improve key performance metrics, thereby elevating the overall customer experience across all Markets.

Target Audience

User Personas

1. Support Operators

   • Needs: Access to all relevant customer contact information, including order-specific phone numbers, to resolve issues efficiently.

   • Behaviors: Frequently interact with customers to address queries, complaints, and issues; rely on the Support/Admin Tool to track orders and resolve problems.

   • Pain Points: Current inability to access order-specific phone numbers leads to increased call handling times and customer frustration.

   • User Stories:

     • As a Support Operator, I need access to the order-specific phone number in the Support/Admin Tool so that I can quickly contact customers to resolve their issues.

   • Scenario: A customer reports a missing item from their delivery order. The support operator looks up the order in the Support/Admin Tool but cannot find the order-specific phone number. As a result, the operator contacts the customer using the profile phone number, which goes unanswered. This leads to delays and increased call handling times.

2. Customers

   • Needs: Quick and effective resolution of issues related to their orders, especially when they provide a specific phone number for that order.

   • Behaviors: Place orders through the Whitelabel App, sometimes using a different phone number than the one listed in their profile for specific orders.

   • Pain Points: Frustration due to delayed issue resolution when support teams cannot contact them on the provided order-specific phone number.

   • User Stories:

     • As a Customer, I want the support team to contact me on the phone number I provided for my order so that any issues can be resolved quickly and without hassle.

   • Scenario: A customer provides a different phone number for their order because their profile number is temporarily unavailable. When an issue arises, the support team calls the profile number, leading to miscommunication and a delay in resolving the issue.

❔ Expected Outcome

To address the identified problem, the proposed solution is to enhance the Admin Tool by integrating a new feature to display order-specific contact information. This enhancement will ensure that any phone number provided at the time of placing an order is accessible to the support team.
