The Client

Improving Customer Satisfaction Through Operational Excellence

Customer experience is shaped long before an agent interacts with a customer. It is the result of well-defined processes, clear accountability, consistent quality standards, and operational visibility across the organization.

For a leading U.S. home furnishings and rugs retailer, delivering a consistently high-quality customer experience had become increasingly challenging as customer interactions grew across multiple channels. While the support operation handled large volumes of customer inquiries, inconsistent performance, fragmented reporting, and limited operational visibility made it difficult to proactively improve service quality.

Intelegencia partnered with the client to redesign its customer support operations through a governance-led transformation. By strengthening leadership accountability, enhancing workforce visibility, and implementing data-driven quality management, the engagement created a scalable operating model that delivered measurable improvements in customer satisfaction, service levels, and overall operational performance.

The Challenge

Customer Support Needed Greater Operational Visibility to Scale Effectively

The client's customer support organization played a critical role in delivering a seamless experience across online and retail channels. As customer interactions increased, maintaining consistent service quality became increasingly difficult. Operational performance varied across teams, reporting lacked consistency, and leadership had limited visibility into performance trends that could impact customer experience.

Without a structured governance framework, identifying emerging issues, improving agent performance, and maintaining consistent service standards became increasingly challenging. The client needed an operating model that could provide greater transparency, accountability, and operational control while supporting future growth.

What our audit found

Operational Assessment Identified the Root Causes Behind Performance Gaps

Intelegencia conducted a comprehensive operational assessment to understand why customer satisfaction was not improving despite existing quality processes. The analysis revealed that internal QA scores were not accurately reflecting the customer experience, making it difficult to identify the true drivers of customer dissatisfaction.

The assessment also uncovered fragmented leadership ownership, inconsistent reporting practices, limited workforce visibility, and reactive coaching processes. These operational gaps reduced the organization's ability to detect risks early and respond with targeted improvements. The findings made it clear that sustainable performance improvements would require a governance-led operating model supported by standardized reporting, proactive monitoring, and continuous coaching.
