The Client
The client is a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listed publicly traded software analytics company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The client’s technology, delivered in a software as a service (SaaS) model, monitors web and mobile applications in real-time that run in the cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments.
The Problem/Challenge
The Client needed to augment their sales and support staff with resources from a business process outsourcing (BPO) partner. The resources were needed to answer web-generated inbound sales and support requests from their existing and potential customers. Even with a global sales and support team, the Client had a period from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. headquarters time, where they had no internal coverage for such requests. Every day, they had to start the day by responding to the messages missed during this window and at the same time take care of the new customer requests in real-time. This reduced the Client’s ability to close business, as customer expectations of real-time interactions were hampered by ever-present waiting requests for product pricing, features, subscription plans, and product performance, among other things

The iQuasar Solution
iQuasar identified the required BPO personnel from the available pool of off-shore resources and engaged them with the Client to fill the Customer Support timing gap. These resources were able to work during the hours when the Client’s headquarters team in the US and team in the European Union were not at work. The BPO resources were trained on the Client’s products, features, pricing, and tools used to communicate with the Client’s customers for support. A daily reporting framework was put in place to pass on the status of tickets or to hand off any in-progress work. A weekly framework allowed the Client to look at the performance of the resources against the stated customer experience objectives. iQuasar BPO personnel provided live chat support to the Client’s existing and potential customers about products and services. In addition, our team updated the Client’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool and other data repositories.
