Service center owners know how much time is spent handling calls with the question: “Is my order ready?” Every such call takes minutes away from a manager that could be spent on more important tasks. The Gincore CRM system offers an elegant solution to this problem—the “Repair Status” widget.
This is a simple yet powerful tool for service center automation that allows your customers to independently track the status of their order directly on your website, 24/7. Integrating this feature increases transparency, improves the customer experience, and reduces the workload on your staff.
What is the “Repair Status” widget for?
The main purpose of the widget is to provide customers with quick and convenient access to information about the progress of their device's repair. Instead of calling or writing to a manager, a customer simply enters their phone number or order number on your website and instantly sees the current status.
This solves several problems at once:
- Reduces the number of routine inquiries: Your employees can focus on more complex tasks instead of answering questions about order statuses.
- Increases customer trust: Transparency in the repair process builds loyalty and showcases your professionalism.
- Improves service quality: The customer receives information at any convenient time, without waiting for an operator's response.
