The Challenge
TechGear Online, a mid-size e-commerce retailer, was struggling with customer support volume. During peak shopping seasons, they received 4,000+ support tickets per week, leading to 24-48 hour response times. Their support team couldn't scale quickly enough, and customer satisfaction was declining. They needed a solution that could handle multilingual support (English, Spanish, French) and operate 24/7 without the overhead of hiring additional staff.
