Customer Service.
Our customer service teams work in a pod structure of 5-7 individuals with the ability to scale with the needs of our customers. Online store are assigned to a pod where all members are trained to be subject matter experts on that store and understand the audience and products offered. To provide fast and efficient issue resolution, we empower our staff to use their judgement, make the majority of day-to-day decisions, and take ownership of those decisions. If an escalation is needed, we have a detailed escalation tree.
