About the Client
Our client is a logistics company subcontracting transportation services to Amazon. It is located in New Jersey and provides freight forwarding as per Amazon’s requests.
Due to an increasing amount of trust from Amazon Co the Client needed to expand the business. His request was a team of highly organized and experienced dispatchers able to provide thorough and competent communication between the drivers and Amazon’s operating entity.
The challenge
What problems need to be solved?
Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) owners should have the highest eligibility criteria in transportation service quality provided.
Because the client had a strict partnership commitment with Amazon (Amazon Delivery Service Partner), this imposed high demands on the needed dispatchers.
However, as the Client showed a lack of confidence in remote specialists’ work quality, our team had the challenge of justifying the owner’s high demands in dedication to the virtual team.
The specifics of the client’s work:
- The need to work according to Amazon’s strict operating procedures;
- High volume of reports to accompany the operation;
- High pressure on dispatchers due to Amazon’s increasing requests;
- A strict system of penalties and costs which accompany any deviations from Amazon regulations;
- Experience in Amazon Relay’s proprietary CRM.
Requirements
- Data security,
- High professional demands,
- Stress free,
