Counterparts are internal customers. Deliver them service as such. Overcommunicate and be proactive in our communications. We are here to solve problems.

Enforce the blackout Calendar for vacations and time off requests. Certain times require all hands on deck. We can’t afford to have people off during critical times.

If the structure is too complicated for the Billing Wizard, we must requite in a manner that will fit the automation capabilities of our systems. Standardize our invoicing structure. Insure that each CSR has the latest SOW and Rates associated with their accounts. Billing can’t be accurate without the proper information. We will be able to generate our own invoicing and insure timeliness and accuracy. We will generate in cycle “P&Ls” so we know where we stand at any given time.
Quality – Become an expert on our WMS system. Learn how to set up customers, SKUs, enter orders, generate pick tickets, set up billing, use templates, automate processes, build reports, etc. Master our system. Automate processes using our IT resources and drive customer integrations. Insure data entry completeness. This drives downstream visibility, metrics, and dashboards.

Financials – Eliminate OT and Rework. Optimize the staff level through automation and controls. Automate billing and insure the billing is accurate every time. We cannot leave money on the table because we haven’t done enough to capture our revenues. All customer interaction or customer driven activities shall have an associated billing. Transactions, Counts, Projects, Visits, etc. Everything we do costs us money. We should get paid for the service we provide. There are very few exceptions to this tenant. Know how your actions and your teams actions impact the P&L. Customer Service is the most highly compensated department, we expect the results to reflect that premium.
