Platform › Customer experience › Ticket resolution
Shipherd investigates every ticket before your agent opens it — pulling order, tracking, warehouse, catalogue and policy context automatically — then resolves, assists or escalates. The mode is set per scenario rather than per product: some scenarios need no response at all, some need only an acknowledgement, and some must always reach a person.

Four places money leaves a fulfilment operation, and what each one is worth. Your channel mix, carrier mix and ticket volume decide where most of yours sits.

No. Shipherd works inside your existing helpdesk, including Zendesk and eDesk. It gathers order, tracking, warehouse, catalogue and policy context automatically on every ticket, then either resolves the ticket autonomously, hands your agent a pre-investigated draft, or routes it to the right team with the evidence attached.
At one live account, 60% of total inbound ticket volume was handled automatically. The realistic ceiling depends on ticket mix — WISMO and order-change queries automate readily, while damage and dispute cases are better suited to assisted resolution.
Each ticket is classified by intent, sentiment, priority and complexity. Low-complexity, high-confidence cases resolve autonomously; anything requiring judgement is drafted for an agent or escalated with a briefing note rather than answered automatically.
Context gathering takes under 20 seconds per ticket. Autonomous resolutions typically complete in four to six seconds. Handling time drops from four to seven minutes per ticket to under thirty seconds.
It does not answer. The ticket is escalated to a human with the investigation already done — policy checked, stock confirmed, options laid out — so the agent makes the decision faster rather than being replaced by a guess.
That is your choice. Replies are drafted in your brand voice and, in assisted mode, are reviewed and sent by your agent before reaching the customer.
Marketplace refunds where the item never came back are reimbursable. Finding them means reconciling three separate reports against each other.
For support leadersOne WISMO query means checking the order, then the carrier, then the warehouse. Multiply by volume.
