- Lengthy and Manual Service Processes – The existing service processes were characterized by excessive length and numerous manual steps, requiring agents to navigate through multiple screens, manually enter repetitive data, and follow inefficient workflows that hindered overall efficiency.
- Poor User Experience – Frustrated service agents dealing with slow system response, complex navigation, and time-consuming data entry led to decreased productivity, longer call handling times, and reduced customer satisfaction across the service organization.
