Onboarding - CSO Admin (ONB05US01)
1. Problem Statement
CSO Admins face challenges in managing consumer queries, validating complaints, and tracking key operational metrics efficiently. Without a centralized and structured dashboard, they struggle with:
- Delayed complaint and service request validation, leading to unresolved consumer issues.
- Lack of real-time insights into pending work orders, unpaid bills, and high-priority validations.
- Manual effort in tracking consumer data, requiring multiple system interactions.
This inefficiency increases operational delays, reduces consumer satisfaction, and adds unnecessary workload to CSO Admins.
2.Who Are the Users Facing the Problem?
- CSO Admins: Responsible for overseeing consumer complaints, service requests, work orders, and billing validations.
- Support Teams: Rely on CSO Admins for quick resolution of consumer issues.
These users need a streamlined, real-time dashboard to enhance their efficiency.
3. Jobs To Be Done
As a CSO Admin, I am responsible for managing consumer queries, validating complaints, overseeing work orders, and tracking billing within SMART360. Previously, the lack of a centralized view led to inefficiencies, delayed responses, and increased manual effort in handling consumer-related issues.
To enhance my efficiency, I need a streamlined and comprehensive dashboard that provides a real-time overview of key operational metrics. This includes:
- Consumer Search & Details Panel – A quick lookup feature to retrieve consumer details, including active complaints and service requests.
- Validation Queue for Complaints & Service Requests – A structured workflow that enables me to review, approve, or reject pending consumer requests efficiently.
- Work Order Management – A real-time tracker for work orders, ensuring timely actions on service-related tasks.
- Billing Oversight – A dedicated section to monitor unpaid bills and take necessary actions to ensure revenue collection.
Additionally, I require real-time status updates and actionable insights that help me prioritize urgent tasks, reduce bottlenecks, and improve response times.
With this solution, I can focus on proactive consumer management rather than spending excessive time on manual tracking and issue resolution. This will enhance operational efficiency, improve service quality, and ensure seamless supervision of consumer operations.
4. Solution: The CSO Admin Dashboard introduces
- Consumer Search & Details Panel – Allows quick lookup of consumer data, including complaints and service requests.
- Validation Queue for Complaints & Service Requests – Enables CSO Admins to review, approve, or reject pending issues.
- Billing Oversight – Displays ongoing unpaid bills for immediate attention.
- Actionable Insights & Metrics – A summarized view of key operational areas requiring intervention.
5. Major Steps Involved
- CSO Admin logs into the SMART360 platform and accesses the dashboard.
- The dashboard presents a summary of open consumer queries, pending validations, resolved today, and unpaid bills.
- Admin searches through account no, meter no, name, phone number to view details.
- The validation queue allows the Admin to view complaints and service requests and billing and payments.
- Unpaid bills are displayed with options to mark payments as received.
- The Admin efficiently supervises consumer operations from a single view.
