The Challenge

A fast-growing online fashion retailer overwhelmed by customer inquiries

A leading Online Fashion Retailer with over 5 million monthly visitors in the USA was struggling to keep up with customer service demand. With 8,000+ daily customer inquiries spanning order tracking, returns, sizing questions, and product availability, their team of 45 customer service agents was stretched thin.

Average response times had ballooned to 6-8 hours, support was limited to 8am-8pm business hours, and the annual cost of their customer service operation had reached $1.8M. Cart abandonment was rising as customers couldn't get timely answers, and satisfaction scores were declining steadily.
