European retailer wanted to analyse the existing customer service to improve the efficiency and effectiveness. As a result the operating model for customer service was adapted and business process outsourcing project started.
Challenge: Highly inefficient inhouse customer service
The retailer was increasingly und substantially confronted with a structural imbalance in inhouse customer service operations. High operational inefficiencies, lack of transparency & data across rather all operating countries, high level of people demotivation & attrition as well as low overall performance across various Contact Center metrics gave birth to the mandate to structurally assess and – as a consequence – fundamentally re-organize the Contact Center operations.
The initial hypothesis envisaged to gradually professionalize the inhouse structures to achieve an acceptable standard in operational performance.
The ambitious growth plans and underlying strategic mindshift towards customer centricity served as clear guardrails for the re-structured operating model in the respective area.
