🚨 Decreased escalations through structured ticketing and clear routing

The Challenge

Support was handled manually across multiple platforms, with no shared visibility or prioritization logic. Inconsistent processes led to slow responses, dropped inquiries, and rising customer frustration. The team lacked a clear escalation path and tools to manage volume at scale.

Stakeholder Ecosystem

Customer Support Team: Needed efficient tools and clear workflows
Community Managers: Required improved visibility and moderation
Leadership: Focused on enhancing scalability and customer satisfaction

Our Approach

🧩 Audit & Tool Selection

Assessed all customer communication channels and workflows. Chose Front as the central platform to unify support across email, social, and community platforms. Integrated with Slack and APIs to surface high-priority conversations in real time.

🔁 System Design & Escalation Logic

Built a structured ticketing system with routing rules, tagging, and SLAs. Defined categories (refunds, technical issues, account access) to ensure priority handling and fast resolution.

🎯 Agent Enablement & Visibility

Trained agents on new workflows and escalation protocols. Designed dashboards to monitor team metrics like response time, resolution rates, and satisfaction scores.

🔄 Continuous Feedback Loop

Held weekly reviews with support leads to flag recurring issues, update macros, and iterate on SLAs. Created space for agents to raise edge cases and share insights.

Impact

The new system reduced chaos, empowered agents, and gave leadership visibility into service performance. Customers received faster, more consistent support—scaling operations without adding headcount.

Reflection

The real unlock wasn’t just the tech—it was bringing clarity and structure to a team already doing their best. Once processes, tools, and expectations aligned, performance followed.
