Context & problem
Pokus ran across a long, fragmented chain — customer → CX → RM → vendor → picker/runner → rider → customer. Every handoff was a place for delay and information loss, and nothing was owned end to end.
Decisions & actions
- Mapped the full chain and assigned a single owner per stage
- Designed request intake, customer communication, cart drop-off and escalation workflows
- Built RM workflows: task allocation, vendor coordination, customer updates, escalation handling
- Defined procurement flow: sourcing, vendor mapping, availability checks, procurement SLA
- Defined fleet flow: rider allocation, pickup SLA, delivery SLA, shift planning
- Gave management KPI dashboards, SLA monitoring and escalation tracking on top
Outcome
- Execution moved from people-dependent to system-dependent
- Clear ownership and defined SLAs at each stage
- Escalations triggered by rules instead of by noise
- Founders stopped being the escalation path of last resort
Single owner per stage
Escalation by rule, not by noise
