Context & Challenge
Project background and description
In the case of a telecom client, the project was a challenge for us both because of its scale and rigorous SLA by which we were bound. The scale of the project concerned working on requests coming in from over a dozen million clients.
The problem
The client’s biggest problem was constant increase of employment due to the volume of customers’ requests. The turnover at these working positions translated into fluctuations in customer request solving times, which led directly to a decrease in their satisfaction with the service.
Project goals and objectives
The main goal of the project was to decrease the workforce in the customer service team and the operational costs related to maintaining and recruiting it. The second goal was to decrease the incoming request solving time, which would influence SLA indicators.

The process and insight
How we found a solution?
For carrying out this project, we gathered a team of 34 people who had to rise up to the rigorous SLA benchmarks.
In order to answer the question: how to do it? we started browsing through tens of thousands of requests, looking for repeating topics and categories. We identified over a dozen most popular ones and started to implement them in a tool which, after several months, we called Mr Wolf, referring to the Pulp Fiction character.

The solution
How we made it all happen?
The implementation process consisted in first making a very precise list of all steps performed manually for a certain category of requests, and then turning these steps into script(s) which could be carried out automatically.

The results
What we achieved?
This way, we indicated a total of over 35 business processes, or in other words request categories, which are currently 100% automated.
They make up for ca. 30% of all requests coming into our expert team.
Automation enabled us to save ca. 2450 hours of our consultants’ work.
