A mid-size e-commerce company was drowning in customer support tickets, especially during peak hours. Their support team couldn't scale fast enough, and customer satisfaction was declining. Here's how voice AI transformed their customer service.
The Challenge
- Volume: 2,000+ support tickets per week, spiking to 4,000+ during sales
- Response time: Average 24-hour response time, 48+ hours during peak periods
- Cost: High cost of 24/7 support staffing
- Satisfaction: Customer satisfaction scores dropping
- Languages: Needed support in English, Spanish, and French
The Solution
We implemented a voice AI system that:
- Answers customer calls 24/7 with <400ms response time
- Handles common inquiries automatically (order status, returns, product questions)
- Escalates complex issues to human agents with full context
- Supports 3 languages natively
- Integrates with their CRM and order management system
Implementation Timeline
- Week 1-2: Discovery and requirements gathering
- Week 3-4: Development and integration
- Week 5: Testing and refinement
- Week 6: Phased rollout (20% → 50% → 100%)
