Challenge

The on-demand economy adds more pressure on customer support operations. Today's consumers expect immediate service, expedited fulfillment, and real-time resolution of issues. Customers are more connected and have more choice, and less patience, than ever before.

With increasing connectedness and service expectations, the role of being a contact center agent has never been more difficult. This is especially true for the first few weeks of an agents’ tenure, when onboarding and training can be like drinking from a fire hose.

Despite these challenges, Startek remains ahead of the curve with world-class talent and a playbook of industry best practices honed over their 30+ year company history. While Startek collaborates with top customer experience (CX) technology providers to pinpoint and implement the most suitable solutions tailored to each client's specific requirements, the desire to continue to innovate remains. Specifically, Startek was seeking an AI-powered, secure, easy-to-use, and flexible software solution to document and guide several voice workflows for several global telecom and cable clients.

Outcome

By embedding PixieBrix contextual guidance, Startek realized a 25% increase in customer satisfaction (CSAT) as measured by the industry-standard Net Promoter Score (NPS).
AI-powered guidance helped reduce over 100 secs in AHT.
With a streamlined approach to process documentation and real-time guidance, Startek reduced agent onboarding time by 40%.
PixieBrix provided a more intuitive agent experience, leading to over 1K+ agents being onboarded to PixieBrix within the first 9 months.

Solution

After evaluating several solutions, Startek chose to deliver embedded, contextual guidance with PixieBrix, a Generative-AI powered, low-code platform that rapidly customizes and automates the web tools teams already use to add a new layer of functionality to many of the web applications that support key clients. The solution set includes validation, warnings, decision trees, and checklists, all with an audit trail so you can identify process bottlenecks and continuously improve over time. PixieBrix stood out based on the following:

Speed: PixieBrix deploys as a browser extension, which offers greater agility and a faster time to value.
Customization: PixieBrix is a low-code tool that can be completely customized to solve unique client needs and process flows.
Compatibility: PixieBrix adapts to diverse environments, embeds anywhere, and integrates with any API.
Scale: PixieBrix solves complex agent rollouts with robust management and reporting to drive operational excellence.

Today

Startek relies on PixieBrix to deliver contextual guidance:

Challenge

Customer service in the digital era is more complex and harder to deliver than ever before, especially for TaskUs’ fast-growing, innovation-driven client base. These client partnerships involve a vast ecosystem of consumers and suppliers that have more choices and less patience than ever before. In this increasingly demanding and competitive environment, customer experience (CX) is the key driver of brand value which, in turn, makes TaskUs a key ingredient to its client’s long-term success. To set the pace in CX, the TaskUs team required more intuitive, more informative, and purpose-built web interfaces for several key marquee clients – all with the goal of improving agent workflows while still maximizing ensuring customer satisfaction. Specifically, they sought effective and scalable tools to help agents monitor and process customer transactions and inquiries with speed, precision, and the all-important “human touch.”

The Full Story

Team members often perform tasks such as:

Verifying information
Responding to inquiries
Processing transactions
Collecting feedback
Navigating approvals while working across various tools and systems

At the same time, they’re expected to provide timely service with that precious human touch. To excel in this environment, TaskUs pairs highly-skilled people with world-class technology. TaskUs designs and develops some of this technology in-house, including proprietary solutions like AutomateUs, AssistUs, and ConnectUs. However, regarding UX customization and web automation, they chose to partner with PixieBrix. PixieBrix enabled TaskUs to customize the interface of the web tools their agents use to fit their processes and workflows better. Take the example of a customer inquiry. TaskUs teammates are authorized to perform certain actions depending on the customer’s claim, the system’s data, and various other factors. Unfortunately, not all of this information was integrated into a cohesive system. Certain types of inquiries involved multiple manual steps, such as navigating between different web pages, trimming data, and pasting it into a web portal - all while engaging with customers in a professional and courteous manner. TaskUs knew this “swivel chair integration” was inefficient and error-prone. Plus, the manual nature of this work wasn’t in line with TaskUs’s goal to continually improve their teammates’ engagement and well-being. With PixieBrix, TaskUs was able to supercharge this workflow, removing manual steps and checks to increase speed and accuracy.

Today

TaskUs relies on PixieBrix to enhance these critical aspects of their business:

Process Excellence
Process excellence is all about increasing teammate speed and accuracy through capabilities like automation, data validation, and contextual guidance through workflows. With PixieBrix, agents can automate repetitive tasks, such as checking data, auto-filling data across web portals, and aggregating and converting data. PixieBrix improves teammates' navigational efficiency across tools, enabling agents to reference corresponding records across systems easily.
Customer Experience
PixieBrix enables TaskUs to improve the customer experience, driving satisfaction and brand loyalty, by guiding agents through operating procedures and brand guidelines, and helping agents provide accurate and appropriate responses.
Governance
TaskUs needs to ensure safety and compliance through capabilities like redaction, hiding and disabling page elements, form validation, and audit logging. With PixieBrix, TaskUs team members are prompted to perform manual checks on certain actions, agents access different interfaces based on their seniority and role, sensitive customer data is secure and redacted, and team data is collected and analyzed to uncover anomalies and improve processes.
Agent Experience
TaskUs emphasizes both customer experience and agent experience. With PixieBrix, TaskUs can help team members learn and develop with-in app guidance and educational content, ensuring they’re fully utilizing the digital tools at their disposal.
