The Challenge
The musicMagpie team use Zendesk as their main customer service tool.
The business had already made strides into creating super-efficient agent processes for certain types of customer enquiry using Zendesk’s native workflow capabilities and through a custom Zendesk app that integrated with their Order Management System. This meant that some of the common reasons for contact like WISMO (where-is-my-order) and damaged item issues were taking just over a minute to resolve.
With the strong foundation of the Zendesk platform, the business began exploring ways to leverage AI to take the next step towards even greater operational efficiency and fully automate the simple, transactional tickets. In turn this would free up their most valuable resource – the agents – to focus on the more complex and emotive customer issues.
