What is best practice for handling lost shipments and keeping track of the data.

Using:
Magento 2.4.6Hyva magento2 default theme: 1.2.3

Subject:
What is a good way to handle lost packages during shipping?

Situation is as follows:

  • Product gets paid.
  • Product is shipped to customer via mailbox mail.
  • There is no track and trace.
  • Customer sends a message that he/she didn’t receive the product.

Conclusion: product is lost during shipment and customer needs a new shipment to replace the lost product.

Issue: Now the shop owner needs to,

  • keep track of the customers who didn’t receive their order and who need a new shipment,
  • resend the same product for the already paid order,update the stock status while having multi source inventories,
  • be able to get data for getting insight in how many times this happens,
  • what the total costs are for shipping costs, not only for this product but for all products that are lost during shipment.

Requirements would be:

  • To be able to keep track of incoming customer requests for new shipments.
  • Get insight in costs and frequency during a time period, of lost packages.
  • Correctly update stock status for multiply inventories.

Questions:

  • What would be a good way to approach this issue, particularly in regards to keeping track of and getting insight in the data how many times this happens during a time period.
  • Are there any extensions that can give insight in this data and be able to handle the request or what would be best practice, to approach this situation?
