Companies in the current era are struggling with repeat issues and customer complaints — costing valuable time, money, and damaging customer trust. An integrated Complaint Handling System helps manage and resolve complaints effectively, preventing the same problems from recurring.
What Is a Complaint Handling System?
An Integrated Complaint Handling System is a centralized platform that defines how complaints are captured, classified, investigated, and resolved — ensuring consistency and accountability across all departments.

- Encourages root cause validation and permanent corrective action.
- Eliminates repeat issues through structured tracking and validation.
Steps to Implement a Complaint Handling System
- Centralize all complaint channels.
- Log complaints using a standardized format.
- Assign responsible personnel for investigation and resolution.
- Conduct root cause analysis.

Reasons Companies Fail to Eliminate Repeat Issues
Repeat complaints occur when systems for tracking and resolving issues are weak.
Here are the top five reasons most organizations struggle to eliminate recurring problems:
Top 5 Reasons
