The Challenge of After-Sales Dispute Management
In Joyabuy's purchasing agent business, the handling of after-sales disputes directly impacts customer experience and brand reputation. Traditional manual processing methods often lead to inefficient responses and inconsistent solutions. Recognizing this challenge, Joyabuy has implemented a smart solution using spreadsheets to analyze and resolve disputes systematically.
Comprehensive Data Collection through Spreadsheets
Joyabuy utilizes spreadsheets to systematically collect and organize various after-sales dispute data, including:
- Dispute types: Product quality issues, description mismatches, logistics damage, etc.
- Customer demands: Refund requests, replacements, or compensation
- Processing procedures: Each step of the dispute resolution workflow
- Resolution outcomes: Final agreements with customers
This structured data collection creates a powerful database for analysis and pattern recognition.
