Seymour is J&J’s AI-powered fulfilment assistant. We’ve designed him to give you fast, accurate answers to your everyday fulfilment questions.

You’ll find Seymour available inside ControlPort™ and in our Help Centre, ready to assist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What Seymour Does

Seymour has deep knowledge of both J&J fulfilment processes and your account data, including:

  • Orders and order statuses
  • Inventory levels
  • ASNs
  • Products and SKUs
  • J&J processes and business info
  • Compliance and regulation per territory

Instead of searching through the platform or raising a support ticket for simple queries, you can ask Seymour and get instant answers.

What You Can Ask Seymour

There are a lot of questions Seymour can answer. He knows your data inside-out. Some of the more common questions you can ask Seymour are:

  • Where is John Smith’s order?
  • How many [product name] do I have left in stock?
  • Do any of my orders need my attention?
  • How many items are in [order number]?
  • What are my FHDDS obligations?
  • How do I set up IOSS in Europe?

Trained on How We Work

Beyond account data, Seymour is trained on J&J fulfilment processes and knowledge. That means he can also help with common “how-to” and informational questions that previously required contacting Client Services.

Think of Seymour as your first point of contact – a “middle-bot” that:

  • Answers questions immediately where possible
  • Saves you time and internal resources
  • Routes you to Client Services when something needs a human touch

Human Support is Always Available

It’s important to remember that Seymour doesn’t replace our Client Services Team. He’s complimentary, and our experienced fulfilment experts remain on hand whenever you need more complex support or simply prefer to speak to a person.

Seymour is just another tool in your support toolkit, helping you get answers faster while ensuring expert help is always close by.
