The Challenge: Manual Processes and Delayed Responses

Many companies face a seemingly simple problem: every day, numerous customer enquiries arrive via email, forms or phone – and end up in a shared inbox. From there, they must be manually sorted, assigned, and answered. This consumes time, creates a lack of transparency, and frustrates both customers and employees.

“Before automation, it took an average of three days to fully process a customer enquiry. The result: dissatisfied customers and overstretched service teams.”
