Progress Updates: The assigned team works on resolving the complaint, updating the status (e.g., In Progress, Pending Resolution).

Real-Time Tracking: Users can track the status of their complaints in real-time via the platform, ensuring transparency throughout the process.

Notifications: When a complaint is updated (e.g., status change, comment added), users are notified via email or SMS.

Resolution: Once the complaint is resolved, the system marks it as closed, and the user is notified with a summary of the resolution.

Feedback: After resolution, users can provide feedback on how their complaint was handled, which helps improve service quality.

Analytics: Admins can view various performance metrics, including the number of complaints received, resolved, pending, and customer feedback.

Historical Data: Both users and admins can access past complaint records for future reference or audits.
