Pyramid Awards In Technology | Must Read GOLD Koozie Group PPAI 114187, Platinum Tampa, Florida kooziegroup.com The enhanced Koozie Group Tracker now delivers a mobilefriendly, straightforward, one-stop order experience where distributors can view the most up-to-date status on their orders and all the details related to it. Order updates are sent with a secure link so distributors don’t need to log in to view or update their orders. If input is needed, a large, red “On Hold” alert shows up. A summary of the action(s) needed for each line item appears and lets them know the order will not proceed until the question is answered. If proof approval is needed, the distributor can approve it right there. A history of questions and answers is always available, both while the order is in process and for reference after the order ships. If there are additional follow-ups or changes to the order, the distributor can add their instructions, upload any new files and let Koozie Group know if the order needs modification. This increased visibility has resulted in a faster and simpler process that delivers orders on time with fewer errors. Within just a few weeks of launching the new features, over 75% of clarifications were being answered directly in the Koozie Group Tracker, orders were getting into production faster, distributors have less need to call or email the supplier, and order accuracy has increased.
