The Challenge

A major retail chain with 2,000+ stores nationwide was struggling with customer service scalability. Their existing support infrastructure faced critical challenges:

  • Peak season bottlenecks: Response times reached 4+ hours during holidays
  • Inconsistent quality: 500+ agents with varying training levels
  • Rising costs: 15% annual increase in support costs
  • Channel fragmentation: Separate systems for phone, email, chat, and social

The leadership team recognized that traditional approaches—hiring more agents or outsourcing—would only provide temporary relief while costs continued to spiral.
