5 Keeping Customers Informed
We have made communication improvements! On Standard Orders customers will receive: that we have received and are processing their order the Order Confirmation Call from shipping to confirm order details that order has shipped, Some customers will also receive tracking information If order did not ship as scheduled, customer will receive a call from Customer Service with new ship date Customer will receive invoice after order has shipped On Non-Standard Orders (Will Advise) Call from Customer Service to update order and ship date 5

6 How Do We Receive Orders?
Crafco orders can be sent to or to the specific Customer Service Representative PMSI orders can be sent to ed orders are preferred Order in writing; less errors Fax Phone Call CSR manually completed Order From while on the call

7 Order Form 7

8 Customer Order Form Requirements
All orders must be completed on the Customer Order Form The form has been updated to provide all information to process an order Allows Customer Service to process an order more efficiently Minimizes errors, corrections and confusion Receiving incomplete or inaccurate information leads to loss of valuable time from all parties including the customer Common Errors on Customer Order Form Actual Date vs. ASAP; and PO Date not same as Required date Ship To Complete Address Plus Shipping vs. “shipping included” or “add shipping” Effective Immediately Incomplete orders submitted by Crafco employee will be returned for completion Incomplete orders submitted by non-employee customers, Customer Service will call customer to complete form

9 The Customer Experience
Goal: deliver product to customer on time Customer Service receives order: If all OK - no issues If Crafco can’t meet requirements, CS responds with options before sending a confirmation, such as: Delivery date can be met if fulfilled from another plant Delivery can be sent if we have delivery date flexibility Delivery can be complete by sending compatible material

10 The Customer Experience – Lead Times
Do NOT use words “Lead Time” The role of customer service is to get the customer “what they need, where they need it and when they need it” Use all of our resources to provide options to our customers The importance of providing an actual delivery date vs “ASAP” NEVER LOSE A CUSTOMER, EVER!

11 Escalation Process Before escalating, ensure that order form is accurate and complete Ensure Crafco Part Number is accurate Ensure quantity is correct as it relates to the Crafco Part Number and the Unit of Measure Orders must be submitted with QuoteWerks # so that we have pricing and other terms noted Be specific when you want the order shipped. Many orders are displayed as blank, or ASAP. Make sure the shipping terms are explicit. “Plus Shipping” could be misinterpreted as “shipping is included in the price” or “add shipping to invoice” If an order is Tax Exempt, the form/certificate should be included with the order Simply stated an accurate form is processed much quicker through the system, less risk for errors, and greater positive experience you will have, as well as your customers 11

12 Escalation Process If order form has been submitted completed accurately and your order is still not processed or questions still remain and your Customer Service Agent has not properly addressed the situation, you can now escalate by following the below steps (the escalation process is in place for any situation: sales orders, inquiries not addressed, s not answered, unsatisfactory responses, etc.) Include “Escalation” on the subject line of the when the situation is escalated Your customer service agent has not provided a satisfactory response or no response within 2 business hours, the situation can be escalated to the next level (Customer Service Manager – George Chavira)  After the situation has been escalated to the Customer Service Manager and you have not receive a response within 24 business hours the situation can be escalated to the next level (Marketing of V.P. – Brian Price) 12

13 The Order Entry Process
Review Checklist to ensure accuracy Is the quote shown on the order, current? Validate with QuoteWerks What type of order is it? Sealant, Parts, Red/Blue Which Sales Organization Crafco, PMSI, International Is the ship-to in SAP? Is this order replacing a Will Advise? Do we have the product? Review Will Advise order commitments Look at other product numbers/plants If not, Sealant orders go to the Materials Planner who will give a ship date Parts orders for items not on hand are entered with a 7 day lead time and coordinate with Parts Planner 13

14 Order Rate Reduction New Order Entry System – SAP (Oct – Current)
Cancellations/Errors Increased Caused many errors leading to canceled orders New Customer Service Manager (Nov – Mar) Canceled/Errors Decreased Understood SAP provided guidance Busy Season started, temporary employees started, lack of proper training (Mar – Current) Canceled/Errors Increased Customer Service Manager Departed New Customer Service Manager Started (May – Current) Canceled/Errors Decreasing Implemented Standard Operating Procedures Identified proper staffing Open Order, block, canceled and late delivery reports Regionalized team for better accountability 14

15 What else does Customer Service do?
We take calls from customers wanting: Freight Rates Invoice Copies Purchasing history Lead times on sealants / machines / parts Requesting credit or to return items Tracking numbers We call the customer to: Advise if there’s a problem To find out how things are going and to update on current orders Review aging orders We track down Missing shipments/items Missing orders 15
