HSBC's Transition to Conversational Banking through Intelligent Automation
HSBC, one of the world's largest banking and financial services organizations, was facing a challenge with its customer service operations. With over 19,000 customer service agents, the bank was dealing with a high volume of repetitive tasks that put pressure on its agents. The traditional career path in the contact center world was also leading to inevitable attrition, as it was defined as agent → team manager → department manager → operations manager → head of contact centre. This lack of opportunity as the field narrows held back the chance of reaching the highest possible customer satisfaction with every interaction. Furthermore, HSBC was planning to shift towards Conversational Banking, which was expected to grow interactions considerably and require conversational experts to manage the chatbots.

7-Eleven Philippines Enhances Customer Support with Freshdesk
7-Eleven Philippines, a pioneer of 24-hour convenience stores in the country, was facing challenges with its customer support system. The customer support was outsourced to an external vendor, which resulted in limited visibility into customer query patterns and performance metrics. The company had no transparency into the vendor's analytics and could not validate their reports. They also had no visibility into the volume of calls, number of abandoned calls, etc. due to the use of the vendor’s telephony solution. This lack of control and visibility into customer support led the team to decide to bring the entire function in-house. They began exploring helpdesk solutions that would enable them to build a strong in-house support team.

MISA's Success in Achieving 50% Query Deflection Rate with Freshdesk
MISA, an online fashion retailer, faced a significant challenge in managing customer support and communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping led to an explosive growth in digital footfall, increasing MISA’s average number of orders from 30-50 a day to about 70-100 a day. This surge in orders resulted in higher support volumes, with customers frequently enquiring about their orders and delivery status. The team struggled to prioritize issues as their existing email systems ordered conversations based on the latest response rather than the urgency of the queries. Additionally, the shift to remote work due to the pandemic raised concerns about effective team collaboration and communication. MISA also faced the challenge of dealing with repetitive customer queries, which were time-consuming and redundant.

Transforming Customer Service in Financial Services with AI Chatbots
The customer, a leading US financial services company and one of the largest credit card providers in the world, was facing challenges with their existing customer service model. They had over 8000 customer service agents handling queries on phone and digital channels, but their first foray into digital customer service in 2006, which involved live chat support on their website, was not as effective as they had hoped. Customers had to wait in a chat queue and could not switch tabs or leave the page without missing their turn and having to start over. The company wanted to improve this experience by adopting a more intuitive and familiar flow, similar to popular messaging applications like iMessage and WhatsApp. They also wanted to maintain the context of past issues the customer has faced to provide a more personalized experience.
