How to Reschedule a Pickup Requested by Customer
🎯 Purpose:
To promptly and accurately reschedule a pickup when requested by a customer, ensuring proper communication and system update.
🧍 Who Can Reschedule:
-
Customer Support/Operations Team (via Admin Panel)
-
Vendors (via Vendor App — separate SOP)
🪜 Step-by-Step Process (Operations/Admin Panel Side)
🗣️ Step 1: Confirm New Time Slot from Customer
Ask:
“When would you like the pickup to be rescheduled — today or another day and time?”
Make sure to note:
-
Date
-
Time Slot
-
Any special instructions (e.g., preferred contact time)
💻 Step 2: Go to Admin Panel → Orders Section
-
Search for the customer using Order ID or Phone Number
-
Click on the specific Order Card
🗓️ Step 3: Click “Reschedule” Option
-
Choose the new Date and Time Slot
-
Save/Confirm the reschedule
⚠️ Make sure there is vendor availability in that area before confirming.
🔁 Step 4: Notify the Customer
Use preferred channel (WhatsApp, Email, or SMS):
“Your pickup has been successfully rescheduled for [Date] between [Time Slot]. You’ll get updates shortly from our pickup partner.”
📝 Step 5: Internal Note or Ticket (If Delay or Issue)
If the reason for reschedule was vendor no-show or delay, create a CX Genie ticket or add internal note so it’s tracked.
