The problem

The problem

Hawkers' support was slow and oversized — average reply time stretched to two days and CSAT had fallen to 2.1, on a single contact channel. At the same time the brand was opening a new market in Australia and needed pre- and post-sales coverage the existing setup couldn't give.

Our solution

The CX operation we ran

01

Right-sized the team

Restructured the support team to a sustainable, efficient size without losing coverage.

02

Powered the Australia launch

Ran all pre- and post-sales for Hawkers' Australian expansion — logistics, pickups and returns included.

03

Omnichannel suite

Introduced Zendesk, Salesforce and Shopify for support, with Flume, Orlo and Hootsuite for omnichannel social management.

04

High-volume operations

Stood up the processes to absorb a steady flow of 2,500 tickets a day without reply time creeping back up.

The outcome

The outcome

Reply time collapsed from two days to four hours, CSAT doubled from 2.1 to 4.2, the Australian market launched on a stable support operation, and team cost dropped by up to 30%.
