Customer Complaint & Resolution Tracker
Turn customer complaints into clear actions and useful business insight.
The JMRT Customer Complaint & Resolution Tracker is a practical Excel-based tool designed to help businesses manage complaints in a more structured, consistent and professional way.
Instead of relying on scattered emails, notes or basic complaint logs, the tracker brings complaint details, owners, deadlines, outcomes, root causes and corrective actions together in one place.
It is designed for service-led businesses that want to improve customer experience, strengthen accountability and understand what complaints are telling them about the wider business.
