An enquiry on the brand site finds its local team

Workflow 03 · Find your local team · Routing · Enquiry review

Customers do not know which local team to ring. They give their home address on the brand site, and the enquiry goes to the one franchise whose territory covers it.

When no territory covers the address, or two do, the enquiry waits for Head Office to decide by hand, so nothing is lost on the way.

The system does this
  • Save the enquiry with Website as its source and email the visitor an acknowledgement
  • Match the address to a territory: on Substitutoo the postcode districts kept with each territory decide (Bath holds BA1 and BA2)
  • One territory: send the enquiry straight to that franchise's pipeline as New and tell its office
  • No territory, or more than one: keep the enquiry in Head Office's Enquiry review
