CUSTOMER RECORDS · Workflow idea
For a store authorized to maintain customer records, organize new and updated customer details alongside related purchase information in a structured business database. Match records carefully, verify changes against the source, and avoid retaining contact or address details beyond the documented purpose. Protect customer data, honor applicable privacy and communication choices, and require an owner to review access, corrections, and any use for outreach.
01 / The starting point
Authorized store records, an approved customer database, and a documented business purpose
“Keep operational records useful and consistent while respecting customer privacy and preferences.”
02 / The work
Helps a store organize customer and order information and keep approved records current.
