One of the most common questions an online retailer's customer service team hears is: "When is my parcel 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.
When 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. Instead, they simply have to enter the order number in a user-friendly form or the number is stored in the support ticket, and within seconds they receive all relevant information on the whereabouts of the parcel - including a note on when this information was last updated. By the way, this support also works for several parcels 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 staff. Without a single click, directly available in the record.
