Use caseOrder status & returnsv1

Turn "where is my order" into a fast, high-trust experience.

A voice agent can look up orders, answer policy questions, and initiate returns—while escalating anything sensitive with structured context.

Integration-firstHuman handoffGuardrails + logging

A good v1 looks like…

A single workflow with clear boundaries, integrations, and a measurable outcome. We ship the smallest production-ready version first—then expand once it’s stable.

What order status + returns automation can include

The core steps we automate, with explicit handoff paths.

  • Identify the customer (email/phone/order number)
  • Look up order status and provide the latest tracking update
  • Answer policy-safe FAQs (shipping timelines, return windows)
  • Capture return reason + condition and start the return workflow
  • Escalate disputes or exceptions with clean notes

System architecture

A high-trust post‑purchase call flow

Fast lookup, policy-safe answers, and a clean handoff when it’s not straightforward.

Example flow

  1. Step 1

    Verify + locate the order

    Collect a minimal identifier (order number / email) and confirm the matching order to avoid errors.

  2. Step 2

    Resolve the common path

    Share tracking status, delivery ETAs, and the next best action—without making the customer wait on hold.

  3. Step 3

    Start the return intake

    Gather the reason/condition and initiate an RMA workflow (where supported), or create a ticket with structured fields.

  4. Step 4

    Escalate exceptions

    For policy edge cases (late delivery, damaged goods, chargeback risk), route to a human with clear context.

Best fit scenarios

Workflows that tend to ship fast and perform well.

Good fit when

If you can answer “yes” to most of these, we can usually ship a useful first version quickly.

  • High volume of order status calls/tickets
  • Returns intake that is currently manual and inconsistent
  • Teams that need better structured capture before escalation
  • Any workflow with clear policies and exceptions

What we validate in week one

  • Success metric + definition of “done”
  • Escalation rules (when to hand off)
  • Integration points + required fields
  • Logging + monitoring approach

Guardrails we design for

Reliability comes from boundaries + fallbacks—not vibes.

  • Policy boundaries (what can be approved vs escalated)
  • Identity checks before sharing sensitive order info
  • Explicit confirmations for critical details
  • Fail-safe escalation for uncertain matches or risk signals

Integrate into your commerce stack

We connect the agent to the systems that hold truth: orders, tickets, and payments.

Data access

Order lookup + tracking updates

Helpdesk

Ticket creation with structured fields + call summary

Integration

Return/RMA initiation (where supported)

Notifications

Notifications to support channels for exceptions

How teams measure success

We instrument outcomes so you can judge impact clearly.

  • Ticket deflection rate for WISMO
  • Average handle time (AHT)
  • Return intake completeness
  • Escalation rate + reasons
  • CSAT on post‑purchase calls
