A Story of Transformation
In 6 weeks, fewer repeat queries (~15–25%) and faster responses (~10–20%).
The Situation
Like many organizations, this logistics company in Europe was facing a familiar challenge: their CX team was dealing with a team wanted to reduce repeat questions and provide consistent answers.
The CX team was caught in a cycle of reactive responses, spending valuable time on questions they'd answered before. With one support team (≈20 agents), internal policy corpus; email + chat. handling these requests daily, the impact was mounting—both on efficiency and team morale.
The Pain Points

Consistency
Same accurate answer every time, regardless of who asks or when
Confidence
Team members feel empowered to handle any policy question with authority
The Journey Begins
First Steps: Building Trust
Rather than attempting a complete overhaul, we began with a focused assessment. The team was understandably cautious—they'd seen technology promises before. Our approach: short assessment and a controlled pilot with clear success measures and escalation path.
Week 1-2: Discovery Phase
We spent time with the team, observing their daily workflows and understanding their frustrations firsthand.
15+ hours
One-on-one interviews
200+ queries
Historical analysis
Key Insight: The team wasn't just looking for faster answers—they wanted to feel confident in their responses and stop being the bottleneck for information.
The Pilot: From Skepticism to Enthusiasm
We selected 3 team members who were both curious and critical—perfect for honest feedback. The first week was bumpy. The system made mistakes, users forgot to use it, and there were moments of doubt.
Week 3: Reality Check
Initial accuracy at 70%. Team feedback: "It's trying, but not quite there yet."
Week 4-5: Turning Point
Refinements based on feedback. Users start saying "Actually, this is pretty helpful."
Week 6: The Shift
Team member asks: "Can I use this for customer calls too?" Breakthrough moment.
What We Tracked
- • Repeat question rate
- • First response time
- • Reopen rate
User Sentiment: Weekly surveys tracking confidence and satisfaction
Usage Patterns: When, how, and why the system was used
Momentum: When Everything Clicked
By week 7, something remarkable happened. The pilot users weren't just using the system—they were advocating for it. Other team members started asking when they could get access.
The Ripple Effect
What Users Said:
"I actually look forward to policy questions now."
"My stress levels have dropped significantly."
"I feel like an expert, even on topics I don't know well."
What Management Noticed:
• Fewer escalations to senior team members
• More consistent responses across the team
• Pilot users became internal champions
The Human Side of Change
Sarah's Story
Role: Senior Customer Service Rep
Challenge: New team members constantly asked her policy questions, interrupting her work
Transformation: "Now I can focus on complex cases while junior team members get instant, accurate answers. It's like having another me available 24/7."
Mark's Experience
Role: New Team Member (3 months)
Challenge: Felt embarrassed asking "basic" questions, slowing down customer responses
Transformation: "I went from feeling like the weak link to being confident in every customer interaction. The system doesn't judge—it just helps."
Cultural Impact
From Gatekeeping to Sharing
Knowledge became democratized rather than hoarded
From Reactive to Proactive
Team shifted from answering questions to solving problems
From Stress to Confidence
Individual stress transformed into team empowerment
"This wasn't just a technology implementation—it was a cultural transformation that made everyone's job better."
