PODS Booking Calls Restart from Scratch After Cold Transfers

Booking portable storage containers requires multi-hour phone calls that lose all order state when transferred, forcing customers to repeat the entire process after credit card details have already been captured. The call center environment raised security concerns, and no order confirmation was issued after a two-hour engagement. The lack of persistent session state across support transfers is both a customer experience and a data security failure.
