Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Customer Reports Issue via Portal

A customer contacts support via a portal to report that their package was lost, stolen, or arrived damaged, providing their order number and any relevant photos.

Step 2 - Automated Claim Filing with Carrier

The support agent initiates a claim with the shipping carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx) through an automated integration, which logs the claim details.

Step 3 - Immediate Customer Resolution

To provide a good customer experience, the company immediately offers the customer a resolution, such as shipping a free replacement item or issuing a full refund.

Step 4 - Track Carrier Claim for Reimbursement

The company internally tracks the status of the insurance claim with the carrier to recover the cost of the lost or damaged goods. This is handled separately from the customer resolution.

The Purpose of Missing, lost, or damaged shipment

This workflow is for e-commerce companies to manage customer claims about shipping issues. It provides a structured and empathetic process for investigating the claim with the shipping carrier and determining the appropriate resolution for the customer (e.g., a replacement or a refund). This helps to resolve frustrating situations for customers in a fair and timely manner, potentially saving a customer relationship.
