Dealing with complaints: A challenge to confrontation

Complaints are an integral part of any business process, and it is essential to deal with them constructively. Even in an otherwise very successful company like Avtera, there are around fifty monthly warranty claims. They struggled with these claims in the past as they came in through different channels and from other parties. It was challenging to keep an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of their status.

Canon's document system successfully solved the problem of information dispersion, which often led to delays in processing claims, overlooked claims, and financial losses.

The most critical requirements:

  • A simple and transparent system,
  • Ability to allocate claims among employees,
  • Precisely defined stages of the complaints process and a comprehensive overview.
