Incident Management (I2R)

Incident Management · I2R

CC one address. Every delivery issue gets tracked to resolution.

When a facility flags a late delivery, missing med, or wrong stop, the pharmacy emails the courier — and the thread goes quiet. The courier already got the email. What’s missing is accountability and follow-through. That’s I2R.

Incident Management (I2R) is Ship Steward’s autonomous issue-to-resolution service — CC it on the courier emails you already send, and it auto-ingests the thread, classifies it with AI, opens a ticket, and chases the courier to resolution. No app to install, no new workflow.

Delivery incident resolution flow
The Problem

What happens to a delivery complaint today?

It goes into an email thread, no one owns the follow-up, and by invoice time there’s no record of what the courier actually fixed.

📧
Quiet

The Thread Goes Quiet

The pharmacy emails the courier, then nothing. No owner, no follow-up, no closure.

Slips

SLAs Quietly Slip

Without a clock, “we’re looking into it” runs for days and a breach is never flagged.

📋
No record

Nothing at Invoice Time

When a dispute lands, you have hearsay — not a timestamped record of which issues the courier let slip.

👷
Your team

Pharmacy as Chase Team

Your staff become the follow-up engine for the courier’s problems instead of running the pharmacy.

How I2R Behaves

How does issue-to-resolution actually work?

Ship Steward is CC’d on every pharmacy-courier issue email. The system does the rest.

1

AI Triage

Every thread is auto-ingested and classified by issue type and priority — late delivery, missing package, wrong meds, access issue — with domain maps that recognize the courier and pharmacy.

2

Priority-Driven SLA

Critical incidents escalate within the hour. Lower priorities follow a gentle → firm → escalation ladder timed to the issue’s sensitivity, not a one-size-fits-all clock.

3

Courier-Directed Follow-Up

Reminders go to the courier — the resolver. The pharmacy is CC’d so they see the system working for them, not asked for anything they already reported.

Why It Matters at Invoice Time

A record the courier can’t dispute

Every ticket is timestamped and attributed to a courier, pharmacy, and facility.

5min
Polling cadence — every issue email is captured and ticketed within minutes.
100%
Of incidents tracked with a full audit trail — AI-classified, SLA-timed, attributed.

Apps to install — the pharmacy just CCs an address; nothing else changes.

Figures describe I2R’s standard operating configuration (poll interval, audit logging, SLA coverage), not a savings claim. When SLA or invoice disputes arise, you arrive with threads — not hearsay.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Does the pharmacy have to learn a new system?

No. There’s no app and no new workflow. The pharmacy emails the courier exactly as it does today and CCs one Ship Steward address. I2R ingests the thread automatically from there.

Who gets the follow-up reminders — us or the courier?

The courier, because they’re the resolver. The pharmacy is only CC’d so it can see the system working — it’s never asked to chase an issue it already reported.

How does this help at contract renewal or in a dispute?

Every incident is timestamped and attributed to a courier, pharmacy, and facility, with AI classification and resolution time. At SLA reviews and invoice disputes you arrive with a complete record of which issues the courier resolved and which they let slip.
