Recurring Seko support issues

We diagnose and remediate common operational failures that impact Seko users, transforming recurring support tickets into resolved systemic issues.

Customs Clearance Black Hole

Symptoms

  • Shipments stuck in customs fordays
  • No proactive updates on resolution

Root Causes

  • Missing or incorrect product data submission
  • Brokerage document discrepancies

  • Unexplained accessorial charges

Root Causes

Tracking Data Lag

Symptoms

  • Public tracking hours/days behind actual status
  • Inconsistent updates across platforms

Root Causes
