Complaint management software is searched when complaints start slipping through: a customer calls twice and nobody sees the first call.
Problems complaint management software should solve for a service business
- Complaints arrive by phone, WhatsApp and walk-in with no single log.
- The same customer complains twice about the same unit.
- Nobody owns a complaint until the customer shouts.
- Closed complaints are not checked.
What it must do
- One log: every complaint in one list
- Priority and owner: who must act and by when
- Link to equipment and job: history per unit and visit
- Status: new, assigned, in progress, resolved
- Feedback: rating after resolution
- Reports: complaints by service, branch and technician
Questions to ask before you buy
- Can I see all complaints for one customer or unit?
- Can I assign an owner and priority?
- Does closing a complaint link to the job?
- Can I report repeat complaints?
How ServicePilot handles service
