CloudKicks simply couldn’t handle the volume of inquiries via all their digital channels, specifically during the holiday season. An increase in traffic to their website also meant even more customer inquiries via emails, calls, and chats. Linda Rosenberg, CloudKicks’ Salesforce admin, proposed the idea of using case management in their existing Service Cloud instance to help manage the process of intake, routing, escalation, response, and resolution of these customer cases. After getting hands-on with the case management Trailhead modules, and reviewing the insightful implementation guide on how to create and enable cases, Linda was able to configure cases in their org in a few hours. Now, incoming cases had all the correct details filled out and the reps were able to see customer information all on one screen! However, Linda noticed some case features were not being utilized that could really enhance the overall case management process. She dove even further into the tool and created a case support process. This helped differentiate the types of cases that were coming in, and as a result, were now able to be routed to the right people via assignment rules, which is what she configured next. The customer service agents had great feedback and were now better equipped to handle the volume of cases that were coming in. One issue they brought up was they weren’t sure how to prioritize cases, and customers were often calling in to ask if their case was received. Linda recalled joining the Service Cloud Trailblazer Community a while back, and thought she might post the question there to see if anyone else had a solution for these issues. Linda was directed to use escalation rules and auto-response rules to solve this problem. As a result, CloudKicks saw a faster speed to resolution, a decrease in case handle time, and overall improved customer satisfaction. |
