A large U.S. home improvement retailer faced slow and inconsistent complaint resolution due to rule-based workflows in Dynamics 365. Manual triage and resolution processes increased handling time, raised service costs, and affected customer satisfaction. Blackstraw implemented predictive AI agents that automated complaint handling and resolution workflows. This led to 65% faster complaint resolution, 70% automated handling, improved customer satisfaction, and lower operational service costs.
The retailer depended on set rules and manual processes to handle customer complaints across service channels. As the number of complaints grew, these workflows became hard to manage, leading to inconsistent resolution results and a heavy dependence on customer service agents. The organisation needed a smarter, more proactive approach that could understand customer issues in real-time, apply policy-driven logic, and resolve cases efficiently while maintaining transparency and control.
