Customer Support Automation

Overview

SaaS Platform C was drowning in support tickets. With 10,000+ tickets per month and only 15 support agents, response times were ballooning and customer satisfaction was dropping. They needed intelligent automation to route tickets efficiently and help agents resolve issues faster.

The Challenge

The support team was overwhelmed and inefficient: • 10,000+ monthly support tickets across email, chat, and web forms • Average response time of 24+ hours • Manual ticket categorization and routing taking valuable agent time • Inconsistent quality of responses across different agents • No visibility into urgent or high-value customer issues • Critical bugs buried in the ticket queue • Customer satisfaction score dropping to 72% • High agent burnout and turnover • Difficulty tracking recurring issues and patterns
