Итоговый результат
Delivery is typically a major area where customers need to come to CS. As we scaled P&S in 2022, we saw customers absolutely unhappy when things went wrong, which was often. Further, the new 3PLs we onboarded for fast scaling were all on their systems and Avito systems could not talk to these. As a result, customers came to CS, we contacted 3PLs with no SLAs for response, customers kept coming to us, and by the time we actually gave them some "resolution" they were either frustrated, had given up or had got their items, much delayed. In Q4 22, in Peak, CS queues were exploding due to such non-Avito defects, we responded after 7-14 days and we even had to shut down Voice lines in CS!
The team (CS, Product and Logistics Ops) took on an a huge task of reducing Contact Rate, and thus also improving Service levels for CX and thus, CSAT, and showed spectacular results in 9mCY23, especially in Peak in Q4. The numbers for comparison between Q4 22 and Q4 23 are below:
Contact rate: 6.5%, 6.9%, 6.4% in Oct, Nov and Dec 2022 respectively. Improved to 4.22%, 4.15%, and 4.98%, in Oct-Dec 23, exceeding the goal of 5.2% by 15%.
CSAT: In Q4 22 was 53%-49%-42%, which improved to 65% in Q4 23.
SL in Chat channel where ~50% customers contact, was 3%-0%-1% in Q4 22, but in Q4 23 was 82%-92%-90%.
The numbers speak the CX and efficiency gain stories in parallel!
Уникальность проекта или достижения
These CX and efficiency improvements were made possible by very close collaboration of the CS Process optimisation leader, Delivery CSBP, the Program manager for CX in DE and the Logistics Operations team, in a fine display of synergy in cross functional collaboration. Apart from detailed roadmaps, monthly reviews, prompt actions on ~25 VOCs and leadership focus, the team also had an Amazon-standard "Peak preparedness" document, risk mitigation plans (including with Tech for bugs/incidents and reaction time SLAs based on past year learnings) and a Peak "24x7 War Room". All of these and seamless communication ensured that Q4 2023 Peak was painless for customers, zero backlog in CS and zero outbursts about "poor CX" on Social media, a humungous improvement over Peak in 2022 and past years in general. No CS channels were kept closed for any duration in Peak 23!
Направления развития и планы на будущее
We aim to raise the bar on CX and efficiency further in CY24 by tighter targets on delivery CR reduction and CSAT, while keeping SLs in all channels Green through the year, propelled by similar cross functional synergy, communication and team work.
