Our client is one of the leading suppliers of direct moving boxes to consumers and businesses in the US. They have been selling high-quality boxes at an affordable price for many years and ship over 100,000 boxes per day.
The situation:
The client considers customer support pretty seriously. Whether it is offering help in finding the right products, tracking shipments, or answering customer questions, they aspire to offer the quickest support.

The pressing need:
The client was in a situation where they need to find the easiest and more efficient way to provide answers to the above-mentioned questions – in particular, “where is my order?” since they offer FREE shipping and delivery on all their packing boxes and packing supplies.

Since they run on a tight budget for customer support, they were in a situation where they cannot hire more agents but do not want to compromise on the quality of the customer service.
