Challenges scaling customer support
As SAXX Underwear's popularity surged, so did their customer support demands. Peak seasons like summer sales and Black Friday / Cyber Monday brought huge surges in customer inquiries across email, chat, and social.
SAXX historically managed these peak volume moments by recruiting and hiring on seasonal staff. They recognized the time and cost associated with this — and that it locked them into a specific number of people for added support, which created limitations when unexpected events arose creating higher than projected volumes.
Choosing to partner with Chatdesk
