12B.2 Client Communication Protocol

Communication is managed through three primary channels: WhatsApp (preferred for day-to-day communication, automated confirmations, and feedback collection), email (for formal correspondence, invoices, and marketing communications), and phone (for urgent matters, complaints, and initial consultations). WhatsApp integration through the Business API enables automated booking confirmations, day-before reminders, team departure notifications with live ETA, post-clean satisfaction surveys, and promotional messages for add-on services and referral programme updates.

12B.3 Complaint Management Framework

SparkleClean SA follows a structured five-step complaint resolution process:

Step 1 — Acknowledge: Every complaint is
acknowledged within 30 minutes during business hours, with empathy and a
commitment to resolution.
Step 2 — Investigate: The operations coordinator
contacts the assigned team leader to understand what occurred. Client
and team perspectives are documented.
Step 3 — Resolve: Based on the complaint severity,
resolution options range from a partial discount on the next clean, a
free re-clean within 24 hours, or a full refund for the affected
service.
Step 4 — Follow-Up: The client is contacted 48 hours
after resolution to confirm satisfaction. Feedback is documented in the
CRM.
Step 5 — Improve: Recurring complaint patterns are
identified monthly and addressed through targeted training, process
changes, or staff counselling.
