Complaints Management
Sensitive complaints heard out calmly, categorised, tagged for severity and escalated to the right supervisor — with a defensible record every time.
The Challenge
The first 30 seconds decide
How a complaint is received in the first thirty seconds shapes whether it de-escalates or turns into a formal grievance.
Uneven human intake
A tired duty officer interrupts. A new hire misses that the resident has already called twice this week. Notes get half-written on a shift-log page nobody re-reads.
No defensible record
When a complaint escalates — to management, to a legal claim, to the press — there's no record of what was said, when, or what was promised.
Our Solution
01 / 03
Calm, consistent listening in three languages
Routiq AI hears the caller out without interruption, in their language, at whatever hour they call — then categorises the issue (noise, cleanliness, neighbour dispute, service, staff conduct) and tags severity.
- No interruption, in the caller's language
- Auto-categorised and severity-tagged
- History of prior complaints pulled automatically

Routed to the right supervisor, first time
Duty manager for a live noise complaint; cleaning supervisor for a lobby-hygiene issue; senior management for a staff-conduct escalation — with the caller's history attached.
- Severity-based routing to the right supervisor
- Repeat-caller pattern flagged, not just latest incident
- Prior case history attached to every escalation

Timestamped, defensible record — every time
Every action is timestamped and logged: what was said to the caller, what was promised, and who took the case. If it later becomes a dispute, the record is already in place.
- Timestamped log of promises made to the caller
- Assigned owner and action tracked to closure
- Ready for management review, dispute or audit
