Preventing backorders will significantly affect the order processing experience. One way to effectively prevent backorders from occurring is by having live agents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and giving them access to inventory levels. When the agents know exactly what is in stock and what is not in stock, they can sell more efficiently. Agents can upsell and cross sell the customers more accordingly when having access to the inventory. Order processing systems help ensure that all of your customers' orders are filled accurately and in a timely manner.

The most important asset to any business is its customers. Customer satisfaction is key to long-term success, and fulfilling customer orders dependably and accurately, is paramount to a satisfactory customer experience. Nothing is more agonizing to a customer when they are trying to reach a live agent in customer service and there is no one available, or the hold time is so long they give up waiting and abandon the phone call. Customer satisfaction measures how products or services supplied by a company meet or surpass a customer's expectations. Customers will be happier when there is an agent available to assist them in placing orders, tracking orders, product questions and overall general inquiries.
Not having an agent available for a customer at any given moment when a customer is in need of assistance may leave customers with a bad impression of your business- leaving them thinking they aren’t worth having an agent of your company available to help them buy your products. Heighten customer satisfaction by employing agents around-the-clock ready to assist. Why treat your ecommerce customers any differently from your live shoppers at the store? The opportunity to serve your customers around the clock with knowledgeable, cost-effective agents is available and can dramatically impact the impression your company leaves on your customers.
