The five workflows every industry shares
The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for e-commerce is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.
The E-Commerce overlay: Customers, Orders, Carts, Orders, Products. Stages: Browsing → Cart Created → Checkout Started → Order Placed → Shipped → Delivered.
Intake and triage
Every call, text, email and form becomes a cart on the customer's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.
Touches: Opens the order at Browsing.
Follow-up
Moves each order forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the orders that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.
Touches: Browsing to Delivered, one stage at a time.
Scheduling
Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the order, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the customer asks.
Touches: The calendar and the order.
Quoting
Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.
Touches: Carts and the order.
Reporting
Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.
Touches: The record, read back to you.
