Feedback is designed to track and trace the status of a complaint from notification through to resolution the software also assists in identifying spurious claims from serial complainers.
Customer comments and compliments can also be captured.
Feedback also has the potential to cut fraud, identify acts of extortion and deliberate product contamination, and to highlight production faults that are leading to repeated complaints.
The system deals with every aspect of complaint management.
For example, it can be linked to word processing packages to facilitate the production of standard acknowledgement letters and SOPs / OPs and to other packages, such as image capturing software, which will allow a photograph of the faulty product to be linked to the relevant complaint.
Other documents such as certificates, results of complaint investigations etc.
may also be captured.
Where complaints might lead to court action, adverse customer or government department image, the system assists in maintaining the full traceability of evidence, a factor which may prove vital in establishing and providing a defense.
Examination / testing regimes and associated costs can be applied to the sample, product or service that has resulted in a complaint where relevant.
The testing regime can be assigned automatically or on an ad hoc basis.
Results are easily compared against expected values and specifications.
Once completed, these findings can be easily incorporated into reports, including invoices for the customer and the complainer.
Statistical analysis including key performance indicators (KPI's) can be applied to the results of several tests / examinations to identify trends in complaints, or steps that may need to be taken to prevent the recurrence of a specific problem and to improve customer service and happiness and product / service quality.
