Capability of Support Agent

Order & Shipment Status

Resolves shipment and order-status requests automatically against order and carrier data.

  • Activation complexity

    Medium

  • Time to activate

    7-14 days

  • Volume share

    20-40% of role volume (eCommerce-heavy)

  • Impact range

    40-60% of status volume

Inherited pricing

€0.30 – €0.90 per ticket handled

This capability shares the Support Agent's metered unit. A ticket handled is counted once at the role level regardless of which capability handled it. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the per-action price.

What this capability handles

How it works in detail.

Order & Shipment Status is the commerce workhorse. The agent identifies the order, retrieves the real shipment state from your order-management and carrier systems, explains it in the customer's language, flags delivery exceptions, and routes lost-shipment or high-frustration cases to a human.
