Bulletproof reduces average handle time 50% and CSAT 15 points with Kustomer

The problem

Bulletproof's Customer Care Advocates were spending too much time on transactional conversations such as delivery issues, and support channels were fragmented — Advocates had to log into separate platforms like Facebook — preventing unified analytics and leaving insufficient time for high-value discovery and feedback interactions.

First attempt

Previous telephony solutions raised call quality and cost-effectiveness concerns, and Bulletproof had been using Zendesk before switching to Kustomer.

1
Delivery feedback notification
trigger
“When an online shopper receives a Bulletproof delivery, a notification is sent that asks for feedback: "If this order exceeded your expectations, reply and say #BPDelivered. And if it didn't, reply with #BPCares."”
2
Automated order lookup
integration
“If the customer replies with #BPCares, the workflow automatically triggers an order lookup based on the phone number and troubleshoots if there is a delivery problem.”
3
Automated resolution text
output
“If the delivery is delayed, the customer automatically gets a text without needing an Advocate to send it.”

Advocates handle high-value conversations

“an Advocate might now have the extra time to research products they aren't familiar with and get back to customers with an excellent follow-up”
Reported outcome

Bulletproof achieved a 50% reduction in average handle time, a 15-point increase in customer satisfaction scores within two months, and a reduction of $3 to $4 per contact cost by automating transactional workflows and unifying omnichannel support through Kustomer and Amazon Connect.
