Overview

One platform for customer support

One platform for customer support

One platform for customer support

Agents struggled with an overload of tools, leading to duplicated efforts and misplaced information. Our goal was to create a new, unified platform that would consolidate their tools, allowing them to offer best-in-class customer service.

Challenge

Envisioning a unified workspace

Envisioning a unified workspace

The team integrated all their tools into Celestial, but it merely served as a launchpad, sending agents in separate directions. They lacked a strategic vision for unifying the tools into an all-in-one workspace.

Discovery & Research

Providing a reliable source of truth

Providing a reliable source of truth

Product teams built similar capabilities across tools, resulting in duplicate functions and disparate data sources. Workflows and information found in these tools became inconsistent and unreliable.

Observation

Observing 15 live calls from 5 frontline agents

Agent Interviews

Understanding current and desired workflows

Stakeholder interviews

Learning about related business challenges

What goes here:

Research findings

  • Lack of training / policy adherance

  • Overwhelming agent to customer dialogue

  • Dashboard lacks guidance

Strategy

Shifting focus from dashboards to dialogues

The introduction of 'Paths' allowed the business to define clearer, more effective policies, immediately saving money and increasing customer satisfaction. Agents have enjoyed the resulting consistency, and our design teams are now confident in designing for conversationally driven experiences.
