Managing Orders, Customers, Accounts by a CSR

Overview

The Infosys Equinox CSR Admin console plays a crucial role in managing business and customer interactions for B2B2C (Business-to-Business-Customers), B2C (Business-to-Customers), or B2B (Business-to-Business) store-type. CSRs handle a range of customer services, including grievance redressal, placing orders via phone, managing customer profiles, and resolving various issues. The CSR Admin is an integral component of the Ultra Admin, specifically designed to help CSRs manage and address customer needs efficiently.

With the CSR Admin console, a CSR can perform the following functions:

  • Create an Account: Create an account on behalf of a customer. When a customer creates an account via the storefront, the same is reflected along with their address(es) and payment details. A CSR can view and manage all the customer accounts. For more information, see Working with Accounts.
  • Manage an Order: View and manage both normal and subscription orders placed by the customer. A CSR can place a new order or subscription order on behalf of a customer. For more information, see Placing a New Order for Guest Users.
  • Manage Customer Information: Create and manage all customer information, including adding a new customer, orders, addresses, payment details, privacy and consent preferences, and create, manage and associate customer attributes. For more information, see Managing Customer Attributes, Actions Available for Registered Customers, and Customer Details Tab.

CSR Admin includes extension capabilities that enable businesses to easily customize their operational workflows. To meet organizational requirements, specific features for order processing, navigation, account configurations, and customer management can be enabled or disabled. For more information, see Customizing Extensions.

By centralizing customer, account, and order information and management, the CSR Admin console enhances the efficiency of customer service operations and improves the overall customer experience.

Customizing Extensions

Overview

Extensions enable businesses to quickly customize their order, navigation, account, and customer management processes by toggling specific features on or off. To implement these changes, you can modify the JSON file within the relevant store property, ensuring that only the essential features are retained to meet each client’s unique requirements.

Implementing Extensions via Store Properties

To enable specific functionalities, extensions are configured through store properties. This involves modifying the associated JSON file to activate or deactivate features as needed. By customizing the JSON structure, you can tailor the system behavior to match your business requirements efficiently.

List of Store Property Configurations

The following store property configurations enable customization and management of various extensions within the Ultra Admin console:

Feature for Use store property To
Account accountExtension Customize account-related features with additional fields, advanced search options, and more.

“additionalDisplayFields”: [
    {
      “label”: “Primary Owner First Name”,
      “type”: “string”,
      “path”: “bfirstName”,
      “enableEdit”: false
    },
    {
      “label”: “Primary Owners Last Name”,
      “type”: “string”,
      “path”: “blastName”,
      “enableEdit”: false
    }
  ],

where,

  • “name”: This value will be the property name that is mapped through the API.
  • “label”: This value will be shown on the UI as the field label.
  • “type”: This property determines the field input type (e.g., text, select).
  • “path”: This property value is used for object mapping.
  • “enableEdit”: This property controls whether a field is editable or view-only. Set it to true to make the field editable, or false to make it view-only.

After the configuration, you can see the “Primary Owner First Name” and “Primary Owner Last Name” as viewable fields on the account profile page:

Using Quick Search & Advanced Filters

With the CSR Admin console, as a CSR, you can do a quick search for a customer or use the advanced search filter to obtain the desired result.

You will notice search filters that are activated by default under these components. In addition to the default search filters, there are additional search fields that you can activate as needed.

To obtain more search fields and to use more advanced search options,

Infosys Equinox offers businesses the option to choose between a preference-based subscription (also known as a singular subscription) and multiple subscriptions. Once the preferred subscription method is identified, the business must configure the store and collection properties accordingly.

Comparison of Single & Multiple Subscriptions

Here’s a detailed comparison of the features available in preference-based (single) subscriptions versus multiple subscriptions:

Feature Preference Subscription Multiple Subscription
Create a New Subscription Yes Yes
Add Items to the Existing Subscription Yes Yes
Process Now Yes Yes
Update Order Processing Date Yes Yes
Change Frequency Yes Yes
Edit Payment Method, Shipping Address, Shipment Method Yes Yes
Add Shipping Address for each Subscription One Multiple
Mark One-Time Purchase No Yes
Manage Subscriptions No Yes
View Total Order Value No Yes
Expand/Collapse Product Images No Yes
Skip Shipment No Yes
Cancel Subscription Items Yes Yes

Configuring Store & Collection Properties

In both store property and Subscription’s collection property, configure preferenceBasedSubscription to enable either the existing preference flow subscription or multiple subscriptions flow. When this property is set to:

  • true, enables the preference based subscription flow, that is, this flow will have the address, shipping and payment details common for all the subscriptions.
  • false, enables the multiple subscriptions flow, which means allows a customer to have multiple subscriptions, that is, for each subscription, different address, shipping, and payment details can be selected.

Note: To enable multiple subscriptions, you need to set the above property to false in both store property and Subscription’s collection property.

Loyalty Tab

Overview

This tab provides a consolidated view of the customer’s loyalty information, including their current tier, points balance, rewards summary, and detailed transaction history. The business can configure for various reward types such as loyalty points, order value, store credit, and/or vouchers to drive customer engagement and boost sales—but each serves a distinct purpose and functions differently:

  • Loyalty Points: These are rewards customers earn over time, typically based on their spending. They encourage repeat purchases by offering future value, such as discounts or free products, once a certain threshold is reached.

  • Order Value: This is the total amount a customer spends in one purchase. Businesses can use this to encourage higher spending by offering perks like discounts, free shipping, or product bundles.

  • Store Credit: A refund given for returned items that can be used for future purchases at the same store. It works like a store gift card and encourages customers to shop again.

  • Loyalty Voucher: It is a reward given to customers through a loyalty program. It works like a coupon or discount for future purchases and is usually based on points earned, how much the customer spends, or special promotions.

In the Loyalty tab, a CSR admin can view a customer’s loyalty details, add or remove loyalty rewards, and check their transaction history.

Managing Inventory

Infosys Equinox’s Inventory Admin console enables business administrators or inventory administrators to manage and monitor stocks by location or store.

Inventory transactions can be performed, impacting:

  • Available-to-Promise (ATP) quantities
  • Pre-order quantities
  • Back-ordered quantities

The inventory system is structured around a hierarchical bin model:

  • Bins act as containers within a store.
  • Each bin contains multiple child bins or bin items.
  • A bin item represents a specific SKU (Stock Keeping Unit).

For each bin item, administrators can configure:

  • The quantity of a SKU available to buy
  • The quantity of a pre-order
  • Threshold limit for low stock
  • Threshold limit for out-of-stock

When a user places an order via the storefront, the stock will be reduced in the given bin.

Managing Bins

A bin is a container for SKUs and is always associated with a specific store. Each bin is uniquely identified by a Bin ID.
When you navigate to the Inventory component, the Inventory Bins page allows you to:

  • Search for a specific bin
  • View the list of existing bins
  • Create a new bin
  • Select a bin to view its items, modify a bin item, or perform inventory transactions

The following screen shows the Inventory Bins landing page:

Adding a New Bin

You can create a new bin for a specific channel, such as an online or offline store. Each bin must be associated with a store and can optionally be linked to a parent bin to form a hierarchical structure.

While creating a bin, you can also specify whether it is a primary or secondary bin.

To add a new bin,

  1. Log in to the Foundation console for your business (URL provided by Infosys Equinox).
  2. Select the required store in the All Stores page.

    Once a store is selected, the StoreOps page will appear. If a CSR is associated with multiple stores, they will be redirected to the store listing page upon logging in. If a CSR is associated with only one store, the store operations page will be the landing page upon logging in.

    Type

    Select the required Bin Type from the dropdown list:

    • Primary: A primary bin is the main inventory container used for storing and managing SKUs. It is typically the default bin for inventory transactions and fulfillment operations.
    • Secondary: A secondary bin serves as a supporting container. It is often used for overflow stock, specialized inventory categories, or backup purposes. Secondary bins are not prioritized for fulfillment unless explicitly configured.

    Note: The available bin types are displayed based on the configuration defined in the collection property BinTypes.

    Status

    Enable or disable to activate or deactivate the status of the bin:

    • Enable: Only in the active bin, you can add items to the bin and perform transactions for a given SKU.
    • Disable: You cannot add SKUs or add transactions to the bin.
    Leaf Bin

    A leaf bin is a terminal bin in the inventory hierarchy. It determines whether the bin can contain bin items (SKUs) or child bins.

    You can enable or disable the leaf bin setting based on your inventory structure needs:

    If enabled,

    • The bin can contain multiple bin items (SKUs).
    • You cannot create child bins within this bin.
    • A leaf bin cannot act as a parent bin.

    If disabled,
