Indigo reduces customer service intervention by 14% with Ada chatbot and project44 delivery visibility

The problem

After expanding from one to eight delivery carriers in mid-2019, Indigo had no centralized view of delivery performance across the network and no ability to proactively identify or address shipping issues before customers called in. WISMO inquiries burdened live customer service staff.

First attempt

With a single carrier, Indigo received only after-the-fact delivery confirmations with no visibility into stalled or delayed packages and no way to intervene proactively.

“Indigo has also integrated data into its CRM system, so that customer service agents have access to shipment status and can answer questions confidently”

Contain or escalate interactions

routing

“Indigo's containment rate—the ability to resolve interactions without call center intervention—increased, and when person-to-person contact was necessary, those calls were shorter than prior to the implementation”

Reported outcome

Indigo achieved a 14% reduction in orders requiring customer service intervention, saved $150,000 in staffing costs via chatbot self-service, and proactively rerouted 120,000 potential delivery delays during the holiday season.
Containment rate increased and live-agent calls became shorter.
