Ecommerce order-aging research for offshore teams
A queue method that combines age, customer impact, evidence, and approval boundaries for ecommerce exceptions.
Method: track order state, age, customer impact, dollar exposure, evidence checked, next action, owner, approval limit, contact history, and closure note.
Key finding: 10 fields turn an aging queue into a decision view instead of a list of reminders.
Keep refunds, chargebacks, substitutions, and policy exceptions owner-controlled. Related research: /research/philippines-ecommerce-exception-controls, /research/philippines-vendor-follow-up-aging-research, and /research/philippines-outsourcing-workload-sizing-study.
FAQ: Should the oldest order always go first? No. Combine age with impact and dependency risk.
