Customer Special Order Follow-up Agent

Customers often order items that are not in stock, and they lose trust when nobody tells them about delays. This agent records each special order, checks the supplier or warehouse for the ship date, and tracks the order daily. If the ship date slips by two days or more, it drafts an update for the customer with options, such as waiting, a similar item or a refund. When the item arrives, it checks that it matches the order and is undamaged before drafting the pickup notice. The associate approves every customer message. Items on hold that are not picked up within seven days are flagged, and the manager approves releasing them back to stock. Edge case: when an item arrives damaged, the agent reorders it first and only then tells the customer, with a new date instead of a pickup notice.
