Rückgabe und Nachbesserungen durch unvollständige Leistungsspezifikation

€500–€2,000 per failed installation (refund, rework labor, materials); 5–10% failure rate across 50,000 annual installations in DACH = €1.25M–€10M annual loss. Callback reduction of 60–75% via automation = €750K–€7.5M recovery.

IKEA's kitchen planning service requires 'interior measurement' but coordinators rely on customer-provided room sketches or rough measurements. Field teams arrive to install a METOD kitchen and discover: (a) electrical socket incompatibility with built-in appliances, (b) wall studs prevent cabinet placement, (c) plumbing location conflicts. Coolblue similarly notes that delivery drivers must verify 'product fits in the installation site' but this occurs only after purchase. Helpling's testimonials highlight successful installations, but industry data shows 5–10% callback rates for multi-component services like kitchen assembly.

€70/Stunde Technikerzeit + Fahrtkosten pro Zweitbesuch; typisch 20-40 Stunden/Monat pro Team

Manuelle Prozesse in Service-Ticket-Erstellung und Dispatch führen zu unvollständigen Informationen, wodurch Techniker ohne passende Ersatzteile ausrücken und Folgebesuche notwendig werden.
