Objective

To implement an ongoing, responsive customer feedback loop focused on fulfillment timelines. This initiative aims to identify delivery issues early, correct them quickly, and improve the overall SayPro customer experience by integrating fulfillment feedback into operational decisions.

📌 Rationale

Customer feedback is a key performance indicator for the effectiveness of SayPro’s inventory management and order fulfillment systems. Delays, miscommunications, and missed delivery expectations can directly impact SayPro’s brand loyalty, return rates, and revenue under the SCMR framework.

🔍 Key Focus Areas

1. Systematic Feedback Collection on Fulfillment Times

• Post-order surveys automatically sent via email or SMS within 24 hours of delivery.
• Questions targeted at delivery timeliness, order accuracy, and customer service responsiveness.
• Ratings scored on a 5-point scale and recorded in the SayPro Customer Experience Dashboard (SCED).

2. Real-Time Feedback Alerts and Escalation Protocol

• Feedback rated 1 or 2 stars on delivery time triggers an automatic alert to the fulfillment supervisor.
• Escalation pathways defined by severity:
  • Tier 1: Delay < 24 hours – addressed by customer service team within 1 business day.
  • Tier 2: Delay 24–72 hours – investigated by warehouse team and logistics partner.
  • Tier 3: Delay > 72 hours or recurring – escalated to SCMR-17 committee for root cause review.

3. Root Cause Analysis and Issue Tracking

• Feedback is tagged to categories: Courier Delay, Packing Error, Stockout, System Lag, Incorrect ETA.
• Issues logged into the SayPro Fulfillment Resolution Tracker (FRT).
• Monthly reports generated with trends and heatmaps to identify patterns and high-risk zones.

4. Customer Recovery Mechanism

• For verified delays or negative fulfillment experiences, SayPro initiates:
  • Apology email or call from the customer support team.
  • Discount code or free shipping voucher for future orders.
  • Express replacement shipment for severely delayed items.

5. Feedback-Driven Process Refinement

• Teams meet bi-weekly to review feedback metrics and align adjustments.
• Recurring fulfillment issues prompt:
  • Staff retraining
  • Courier reassignment or renegotiation
  • Order routing or cutoff time adjustment
• Positive trends recognized in team performance reports and staff incentives.
