OUR SPECIALIZED TEAMS
Account Services – Account Services consists of Account Executives (AEs), who are assigned to every client regardless of the type of
engagement. AEs are the client advocate at Jagged Peak, and are responsible for the business relationship, client satisfaction, account
development and the assurance that both Jagged Peak and the client are receiving value from the relationship.
• In addition to being the client advocate, the AE is the overseer of business activities between the client and Jagged Peak, and
is responsible for client communications, client satisfaction/issue resolution, account development (recommendations and
new project initiatives), and fulfillment of contractual service deliverables. Specific AE tactical duties include:
• Supporting Project Managers (PMs) during program transition to Jagged Peak
• Gathering client needs and requirements for new projects and initiatives
• Scheduling and coordinating meetings (internal and external)
• Documenting meeting and phone discussions; preparing conference reports and client communications
• Preparing and delivering work orders and project estimates
• Reviewing, approving and ensuring timely delivery of service invoices
• Conducting account planning, providing program consultation and driving continuous improvement initiatives
• Conducting periodic client review session to assess Jagged Peak and program performance
FlexNet Help Desk – Rapid response tacticians, FlexNet Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) are responsible for program
exception management (orders, inventory, receiving, etc.) and for providing clients with answers to questions related to their
fulfillment program and transactional activities (e.g., WIMO: Where is my order?).
• The FlexNet CSR’s job is to find answers, so the word “no” simply is not part of their vocabulary. When the client has
fulfillment questions, this team provides the answers … within one hour. FlexNet CSRs’ tactical responsibilities include:
• Rapid response handling of client inquiries related to orders, inventory and other program transactional activities
(including interactions with carriers and transportation providers)
• Monitoring program activities and enforcing SLA compliance across all DCs (open order reporting, receiving, order
error reporting). Provide reporting and escalate performance non-compliance issues to management.
• Managing and resolving order exceptions (including backorders, orders with incomplete or undeliverable addresses,
data import exceptions, short picks, ship method changes, etc.)
• Providing manual order and data entry support
Essential Services – Offering a broad portfolio of optional value-added (post-solution delivery) eCommerce services, this team is
designed to help clients with the daily operation and development of their online business. They deliver on our TotalCommerce promise
to make it easy for our customers to operate and grow their businesses by conveniently outsourcing non-core competencies to save
time, energy, costs and frustration.
• The Essential Services team includes EDGE CMS experts/web designers, SEO specialists, and eCommerce marketing and
merchandising specialists. Tactically, Essential Services is responsible for:

demand-side activities

monitoring and interpretation, and other activities focused on eCommerce optimization—website and search engine
accessibility, improving traffic flow and enhancing the user experience (UX), sales conversion rates and AOV, etc.
FlexNet Fulfillment Program Management – Clients who engage Jagged Peak for fulfillment reap benefits from our experienced
team of Fulfillment Program Managers (FPMs). These fulfillment professionals provide “hands-on” management of the client’s warehouse-level program, serving as the central point-of-contact (as opposed to single point-of-contact). They’re responsible for
managing daily program activities and projects (e.g., kitting jobs), monitoring and enforcing SLAs, driving quality control and
ensuring continuous improvement initiatives, and much more. From a client perspective, this group is their voice, eyes and ears
in each warehouse.
• FPMs own the client’s program at an operational level. Their primary responsibility is to ensure warehouse operations
understands the client’s program requirements. And they also enforce compliance of Jagged Peak service deliverables
based on contractual SLAs. Tactically, FPMs are responsible for:
• Analyzing and reporting performance metrics based on established KPIs and driving continuous process and program
improvement initiatives
• Reporting and resolution of operational and service issues (e.g., inventory receipt without ASN)
• Receiving, communicating and coordinating client-requested program changes to warehouse operations
• Preparing and delivering client-specific program reports
• Managing scheduling and documentation of trade orders; monitoring and ensuring routing guide compliance; managing
trade order EDI exceptions
• Overseeing special project (e.g., kitting) time studies, cost estimation and execution management to ensure on-time,
on-budget delivery
Technical Help Desk – Staffed with highly skilled EDGE product experts, the Technical Help Desk assists clients who have

with their EDGE solution (website/application), or who have technical questions they want answered pertaining to their
EDGE application. Inquiries and/or issues may be handled on the phone or submitted online through Jagged Peak’s
“Viewpoint” Help Desk system. Viewpoint is a 24x7x365 self-service tool that clients can use to conveniently submit and
view the status and disposition of reported issues. Technical Help Desk tactical duties include:
