Outsourcing Assistant guide
Create an order-exception queue for a Philippines-based support assistant
A topic-specific guide for a commerce team handling late, damaged, or incomplete orders, focused on giving unusual orders enough context without letting routine support guess a remedy.
Capture the whole exception
A useful order case includes order facts, customer request, carrier evidence, current status, and the policy path being considered. Missing facts should be explicit.
Do not let routine support guess
Late, damaged, or incomplete orders often require a refund, replacement, or delivery decision. The assistant can organize the case and draft options; an owner approves the remedy.
Make the queue actionable
Use states such as waiting for evidence, ready for owner decision, and approved for follow-up. Every waiting state needs an owner and next review date.
Learn from repeat causes
Review exception categories monthly and fix the upstream field or policy reference that caused repeat escalations. Do not hide volume by closing unresolved cases.
Keep planning
