Why Logistics Customer Service is Broken—And How Synergy Rewrote the Playbook

In today’s fast-paced logistics landscape, customer service is more than a support line—it’s a make-or-break pillar of client trust. But let’s face it: the industry isn’t exactly known for emotional intelligence. Long response times, generic updates, and one-size-fits-all reporting still plague most players. The result? Frustrated clients and missed opportunities for loyalty-building.

The Pain Points We’re Not Ignoring

Across the market, logistics clients are tired of being left in the dark. They crave transparency, proactivity, and—most importantly—human connection. Common complaints? Unclear communication, slow resolutions, and zero visibility over what’s happening with their cargo. Worse yet, many logistics providers measure success with the wrong yardsticks, focusing on shipment volume rather than client sentiment.

Enter the Synergy Approach: Dual & Circular

At Synergy, we didn’t just upgrade customer service. We re-engineered it—twice. Our model is both dual and circular, with two complementary units that close the loop between performance and emotion:

Customer Care Department

The Customer Care department is the operational arm of customer service, combining the experience of account managers with frequent, personalized contacts, reports, and the recording of complaints. The department is evaluated through over 10 qualitative and quantitative indicators (KPIs), which measure response times, effectiveness, and the overall customer experience. These data not only serve to monitor performance but also form the foundation for continuously optimizing the customer experience, as we incorporate feedback at every stage of service. By leveraging these insights, we adapt our strategies to achieve even higher satisfaction and deliver services that exceed customer expectations.

Customer Experience Department

Here, we focus on the customer’s emotional response. A dedicated strategist analyzes weekly surveys to understand how our partners truly feel. These responses are discussed with the management team and turned into a strategic tool for improving the customer experience, in collaboration with both the Customer Care and Customer Experience departments.

Closing the Loop

Here’s the kicker: insights from both teams feed into one another. When data from the Care Unit flags an issue, the Experience Department looks deeper into emotional responses—and vice versa. It’s a self-improving cycle where performance and perception shape each other. That’s how loyalty is earned.

Because at Synergy, we don’t just deliver cargo. We deliver confidence—and we track that too.
