    Customizable, Advanced Customer Service Portal Yields Tremendous Insight to Drive E-Commerce Success
    Our capacity to analyze data and business information is crucial for successfully executing strategies and extremely relevant for providing accurate internal decision-making processes that drive growth, profitability, and increase efficiency for our clients. 

    We realized that several clients couldn´t get a full picture of their customer experience by making use of the standard KPIs and metrics of their industry. Each client had different requirements and needs. Our ability to segregate the needs of one customer from the other enabled us to:

    Develop and launch a client-facing portal in Q1 2021 that is 100% customizable to the client’s business needs and measurements with the capacity to integrate with any open API source. 

    By applying LSS (Lean Six Sigma) methodology (SMART and DMAIC) we measured customer service KPIs unique to each client’s line of business and company-specific objectives. We bring these new data measurements to a real-time dashboard, feeding from different data sources and powered by our internal CRM:

    • We've reduced refund rates by 15% across all clients over a year (2021-2022).

    • 30% of clients have experienced a repeated business growth year-over-year (2021-2022)

    • Employee turnover rate fell by 50% year over year, surpassing industry standards (2021-2022)

    • Net Promoter Score average of 4.5 out of 5 on a constant basis for all clients measuring this metric (2022).

    • Met service level agreements above 90% on average across 45 operations and multiple industries during 2022.

    • Hold times 9x faster than industry standards.

    Ecommerce is in its nature a data-driven industry. However, acquiring knowledge of e-commerce is not straightforward. Store owners need to analyze their customer´s behavior to  forecast inventory, optimize their supply chain, and oversee fraudulent transactions, refunds, and chargebacks. 

    E-commerce businesses are rarely able to directly access tailored reporting from their call center provider. A third-party analytics provider or developer is usually needed. A single developer can bill over $5,000 to build and process the data, while data visualization software costs at least $20 per month/per user. In 2020 we decided to fill this need by creating a proprietary CRM and analytics dashboard; a product of years servicing e-commerce clients.

    We have enhanced those capabilities and now include in our service a more sophisticated CRM and data analytics platform that provides these features and much more:

    • Real-time Analytics. Data visualizations offer businesses an overview of the current relationship between parts of the business. This aids the decision-making process and manages critical business metrics.

    • Customizable KPIs and Metrics. We know that E-commerce businesses need actionable insights. They need to move toward a model of measurement that is shaped by the business priorities.

    • Capacity Planning and volume pattern analysis. This allows us to exercise a  strategic management of resources.

    • Group and individual agent performance. We measure performance at all levels of the hierarchy on the floor.

    • Customer insights and reason for calling. Collecting data  helps businesses obtain a more comprehensive picture of customers and allows them to better understand customer behavior.
