Customer Compensation Digitalization refers to the use of digital systems (such as ERP, CRM, online claim platforms) in the after-sales repair process of foreign trade to handle customer compensation requests arising from product failures or repair delays, enabling the entire process of application, approval, and payment to be conducted online. Use cases include: customers requesting refunds, discounts, or replacements during cross-border after-sales repairs; claim processing between manufacturers and overseas distributors. Precautions: compensation trigger conditions (e.g., repair overdue, multiple repairs) must be clearly defined, along with amount calculation rules and payment currency; digital records can serve as evidence in trade disputes; compliance with electronic payment and data privacy regulations of different countries is required. Difference from 'Quality Claim': this term focuses on repair scenarios and emphasizes digital processes; Difference from 'After-sales Digitalization': the latter has a broader scope, including repair management, spare parts tracking, etc., while this term specifically refers to the compensation process.
