Introducing CSA Tickets

CS Automation - A Smarter & Faster Way to Manage Order Support

Written by Reut Avni

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
    with

  • The 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:

  1. Prioritize requests more efficiently

  2. Maintain accurate tracking

  3. Reduce delays

  4. Improve accountability

  5. 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:

  1. Platform bugs or technical issues

  2. Login or account access problems

  3. Billing or payment-related questions

  4. General platform support

  5. Non-order operational requests

CSA is intended specifically for order-related communication and collaboration with the Dots procurement and logistics teams.

For urgent operational escalations outside normal workflows, your Dots point of contact remains available when necessary.
