Start a free trial or talk to support to see how complaint records, evidence, customer history and manager approval work together.
Give your team the context to respond confidently, not defensively.
A complaint is rarely just a message from a customer. It usually connects to a booking, fieldworker, invoice, service expectation, photo, form, arrival time, payment or previous conversation. Keeping that context together helps your team resolve issues faster and more fairly.
Understand the full story
Link each issue to the booking, quote, invoice, customer and fieldworker involved so staff can respond with the facts in front of them.
Resolve with evidence
Use photos, files, forms, signatures, messages and history logs to support fair decisions, rework approvals, refunds and closure.
Turn outcomes into improvement
Capture ratings, review feedback and complaint trends so managers can improve training, scheduling, service setup and customer communication.
Move from reactive complaint handling to faster, evidence-backed service recovery.
Replace scattered emails, phone notes, SMS threads and staff memory with a repeatable process that links every complaint to the right customer, service record, fieldworker, evidence, status and outcome.
