How Do I Give Customers a Self-Service Way to Track Their Own Order?
You give customers self-service tracking by granting restricted access to their own shipment record, so they can check progress using a tracking number or order reference. On Jestor, this runs through permissioned, customer-facing tracking access.
Customers wanting to track their own order, without a direct self-service option, have no choice but to contact support for even the most basic status question.
What no self-service tracking costs
- Support volume entirely from customers asking for basic order status
- No way for a customer to check progress on their own, at any hour
- Staff time spent answering questions a self-service view could handle directly
- Customer frustration from having to contact someone for simple information
How self-service order tracking works
- Customers access their own shipment record using a tracking number or reference
- They can check current status directly, at any time, without contacting support
- No staff involvement is required for a basic status check
- Staff time is freed up for issues that genuinely need a person
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Self-service tracking removes the dependency on contacting support for basic status
- Customers get instant answers at any hour, without waiting for staff
- Staff time shifts to issues that genuinely require a person
- This scales from a handful of daily orders to a high-volume operation
