Why We’re Changing the Support Process?
At Dots, we are constantly looking for ways to improve communication, reduce delays, and create a smoother support experience for your team.
Until now, many order-related requests were handled through Slack messages, scattered emails, or manual support conversations. While this worked in the past, it also created challenges:
Important information could get lost across multiple conversations
Requests sometimes needed to pass between several teams manually
Tracking ownership and progress was difficult
Follow-ups depended on individual communication rather than a centralized system
Clients did not always have full visibility into ticket status or history
To solve this, we are introducing CSA Tickets (Customer Support Automation) — a new AI-assisted support workflow built directly into your Dots platform.
CSA creates a centralized, structured, and transparent way to communicate with our procurement and logistics teams regarding your orders. Instead of opening requests through Slack or informal channels, you will now be able to open and manage support tickets directly from the relevant order.
The result:
✅ Faster response times
✅ Better visibility and tracking
✅ Reduced miscommunication
✅ More organized support workflows
✅ Clear ownership and accountability
✅ Easier follow-up for both sides
What Is CSA?
CSA (Customer Support Automation) is Dots’ new built-in ticketing system designed specifically for order-related communication.
🤖 🎯 🧩
The system combines:
AI-assisted communication
Centralized ticket management
Real-time order-linked conversations
Email and in-platform notifications
Multi-language communication support
Full ticket history and tracking
All communication stays connected directly to the relevant order, making it easier for both your team and Dots teams to track updates, resolve issues, and maintain clear communication.
What Can You Use CSA Tickets For?
You can open tickets for:
Order questions
Shipment or logistics issues
Product concerns
Missing or incorrect items
Order update requests
Clarifications regarding ongoing orders
📦 💬 🛠️
Instead of searching for the right person on Slack or waiting for information to be passed internally, your request will automatically reach the Dots logistics/Procurement specialist.
How CSA Improves Your Experience?
1. Everything Is Connected to the Order
Each ticket is linked directly to the relevant order.
This means:
No need to resend order information repeatedly
Easier tracking of conversations
Full visibility into previous updates
Faster understanding of the issue by our team
2. Faster Routing to the Right Team
Once a ticket is submitted, it is automatically routed to the correct procurement or logistics specialist responsible for your order.
While CSA uses AI capabilities to improve communication, organize requests, and assist with message formatting, every ticket is still backed and handled by a real Dots supply-side specialist.
This means your request reaches the team member directly responsible for the operational handling of your order — reducing unnecessary middle layers, minimizing delays, and improving communication accuracy.
Instead of communication passing manually between multiple people or departments, CSA creates a more direct connection between your team and the operational specialist managing the order.
The AI supports the workflow, but the operational communication and decision-making remain fully managed by the Dots team.
3. Better Visibility Into Progress
Every ticket has a clear status so you always know what is happening.
Ticket Statuses
Status | Meaning |
🆕 Action Required | A new request was created and is awaiting handling |
🔶 In Progress | Dots teams are actively working on your request |
💬 Waiting for Response | A reply was sent and waiting for your feedback |
✅ Resolved | The request was completed or answered |
🔁 Reopened | A resolved ticket was reopened with a new message |
4. Centralized Notifications
You will receive updates through:
Email notifications
In-platform bell notifications
Updates directly on the order page
Control Panel active ticket counters
This ensures you never miss an important update.
5. AI-Assisted Communication
CSA includes AI assistance to help improve communication quality and streamline the support experience.
The AI helps:
Structure support requests clearly
Improve wording and formatting
Support multi-language communication
Help clients communicate clearly even if English is not their strongest language
Make messages easier to understand
Summarize and organize conversations
However, CSA is not an AI-only support system.
Every ticket is reviewed and managed by a real procurement or logistics specialist from the Dots supply team, who takes an active role in the communication and operational handling process.
This approach allows us to combine:
The speed and efficiency of AI-assisted workflows
withThe accuracy, accountability, and operational understanding of experienced supply specialists
The goal is not to replace human communication — but to improve it by reducing unnecessary middlemen, organizing information better, and enabling more direct collaboration between your team and the Dots operational team.
Important:
The AI does NOT make operational decisions or automatically answer order-specific questions independently.
Operational handling, decisions, and follow-up remain fully managed by the Dots team.
How to Open a Ticket?
Step 1 — Open the Relevant Order
Go to the relevant order inside your Dots dashboard.
Step 2 — Click “Tickets” or “Ask Dots”
Inside the order page, click:
“Tickets”
or“Ask Dots”
This opens the CSA side panel directly inside the platform.
Step 3 — Write Your Request
Type your message normally in any language you would like.
The AI assistant may suggest improvements to help structure the request clearly and professionally and switch it to English.
You always control the final message before sending.
Examples:
“Please confirm updated shipment timing for this order.”
“We received missing items in Package #3.”
“Can you help verify the latest logistics update?”
Step 4 — Submit the Ticket
Once submitted:
Your ticket is linked automatically to the order
Dots supply specialist receives the request
Notifications are triggered automatically
The ticket becomes visible in your client dashboard under Tab My Tickets.
Following Ticket Updates
You can return to the order at any time to:
Read updates
Reply to the Dots team
View ticket history
Check current status
Reopen resolved tickets if needed
All communication remains organized in a single thread.
Reopening a Ticket
If a resolved issue requires additional follow-up, you can simply send another message inside the same ticket.
The ticket will automatically reopen and notify the Dots team.
This helps avoid duplicate conversations and keeps the full history in one place.
Multi-Language Support
CSA supports communication in multiple languages, which can be especially valuable for clients whose English is not their strongest language.
You may write tickets in the language that is most comfortable for you. The AI-assisted workflow helps structure, translate, and clarify the message so both your team and the Dots supply specialists can communicate more easily and accurately.
This helps reduce misunderstandings and makes the support experience more accessible for global teams.
Important Changes Moving Forward
As part of this transition:
Order-related support requests should now be opened through CSA Tickets instead of:
Slack messages
Informal support chats
Manual coordination requests
CSA Tickets is specifically designed for communication related directly to orders, procurement, logistics, shipment updates, and operational order handling.
This helps us:
Prioritize requests more efficiently
Maintain accurate tracking
Reduce delays
Improve accountability
Deliver faster and more consistent support
What Still Uses Regular Support Channels?
Technical support requests and non-order-related issues should continue to be handled through the existing support workflows, including:
Regular support tickets
Slack communication
Existing support contacts
Examples include:
Platform bugs or technical issues
Login or account access problems
