How Swedishness GmbH Transformed Customer Service with Vinciness

About Swedishness GmbH

Swedishness GmbH brings authentic Swedish products to food enthusiasts across 21 international markets, from Switzerland and Germany to the United States, Canada, Japan, and Singapore. The company ships over 2,500 carefully curated Swedish items from Marabou chocolate and Kalles caviar to frozen specialties and seasonal delicacies.

With customers spanning multiple time zones, languages, and shipping regulations, Swedishness faces the complex challenge of providing personalized customer service while managing intricate logistics, customs procedures, and market-specific policies. Each customer inquiry potentially involves order tracking across international carriers, policy interpretation for different regions, product availability checks across markets, and coordination with procurement schedules.

The Challenge: Multi-Dimensional Customer Service

Traditional customer service systems struggle with Swedishness's operational complexity. A single customer email might require:

  • Order status verification across multiple shipping providers

  • Product availability checks for specific markets

  • Policy interpretation based on customer location and order timing

  • Store credit calculations and referral program management

  • Integration with procurement schedules and shipping deadlines

Human agents needed extensive training on shipping rhythms, market restrictions, policy nuances, and system navigation leading to inconsistent responses and resolution delays.

The Vinciness Solution: Autonomous Customer Service Intelligence

Swedishness deployed Vinciness to create a fully autonomous customer service system that handles the complete resolution cycle: from email analysis through investigation, research, policy application, and final response drafting.

How Vinciness Orchestrates Customer Service

Email Intelligence and Routing Vinciness automatically classifies incoming emails, distinguishing between customer inquiries, prospects, spam, and automated messages. It identifies customers through order number extraction and email matching, instantly accessing their complete purchase history and account status.

Multi-Source Investigation For each customer issue, Vinciness simultaneously:

  • Retrieves order details from Shopify systems

  • Checks real-time package tracking across UPS and Swiss Post

  • Analyzes purchase patterns and shipping history

  • Verifies store credit balances and referral status

  • Cross-references company policies and market-specific regulations

Policy Engine Integration Vinciness applies complex business rules automatically, considering factors like GOLDNESS customer status, order procurement timing, shipping deadlines, and market-specific restrictions to determine appropriate resolutions.

Complex Case Study: The Multi-Order Investigation

Customer Issue: Emma, a GOLDNESS customer in Switzerland, sends this email:

"Hi, I need help with a billing issue on my recent order #47293. I noticed I was charged twice for the Marabou chocolates, which seems like an error. Also, my friend Sarah used my referral code last week but I don't see the credits in my account yet. I'm supposed to get 30 credits for the referral and she should get 30 too. Plus, can you check if my upcoming order #47834 will arrive before my vacation on July 15th? I'm thinking of canceling it if the timing doesn't work. Can you help sort all this out?"

Vinciness Investigation Process:

Vinciness immediately begins multi-threaded investigation:

  1. Customer Verification: Identifies Emma as GOLDNESS customer with 47 previous orders, €2,847 total spend

  2. Order Analysis:

    • Order #47293: Delivered successfully, billing discrepancy detected in system

    • Order #47834: Scheduled for July 12th delivery batch, within vacation timeline

  3. Billing Investigation: Detects duplicate Marabou charge due to inventory system glitch during procurement

  4. Referral Verification: Confirms Sarah's account creation with Emma's code, credits pending system sync

  5. Policy Application: GOLDNESS status triggers premium resolution protocol

System Resolution Orchestration:

Vinciness automatically:

  • Initiates refund for duplicate charge

  • Triggers store credit allocation for both referral accounts

  • Confirms delivery schedule alignment with vacation dates

  • Generates comprehensive response email

Final Response Draft:

*"Dear Emma,

I've thoroughly investigated all aspects of your inquiry and have already implemented several resolutions for you.

Billing Correction: I've identified and reversed the duplicate Marabou chocolate charge (€23.90) from order #47293. The refund will appear in your account within 2-3 business days. As our GOLDNESS customer, I've also added 25 store credits for the inconvenience.

Referral Credits: I've manually processed the pending referral credits - you and Sarah now both have 30 credits in your accounts. Sarah's welcome email with instructions is being sent separately.

Order #47834 Vacation Timing: Your upcoming order is confirmed for July 12th delivery, well before your July 15th vacation. No cancellation needed - the timing works perfectly.

Summary of Actions Taken:

  • €23.90 refund processed

  • 25 bonus store credits added

  • 30 referral credits each for you and Sarah

  • July 12th delivery confirmed

As always with our 'Life is Too Short' policy, your satisfaction comes first. Everything has been resolved automatically, and you'll receive confirmation emails for each action.

Best regards, Swedishness Customer Care"*.
