The parcelLab app for Zendesk: How customer service knows exactly where the customer’s parcels are

One of the most common questions an online retailer’s customer service team hears is, “When is my package actually coming?” This is where a new app from parcelLab comes to the rescue, which can be easily downloaded via the Zendesk Marketplace and seamlessly integrates into the workflow in the sidebar of the Zendesk screen.

If a customer asks about the order status, customer service no longer has to spend an average of two to three minutes researching various systems for the answer, as they did in the past. Instead, they simply have to enter the order number in a user-friendly form, or the number is stored in the support ticket, and receive all the relevant information on the whereabouts of the package in a matter of seconds – including an indication of when this information was last updated. By the way, this support also works for multiple packages per order. If the order number is already stored in the support ticket, the app automatically reads out all relevant tracking statuses and displays them to the support employee. Without a single click, directly available in the data record.

Easy download via Zendesk Marketplace

To install the parcelLab app for Zendesk, employees need admin status. Then they can download and install the app HERE . The configuration works as follows: Users have to enter their parcelLab user ID, which is stored in the customer account on the parcelLab portal. Then they can still specify whether their customers should enter their tracking number via a Zendesk ticket field so that it is stored in the support ticket, or whether support staff should enter it themselves via a simple form field. After saving the settings, the app is usable from the Zendesk screen.
