Customer story / Consumer electronics

About

Audio technology: Sennheiser designs and produces consumer and high-fidelity audio products. UK customer service: The domestic team supports sales and service for its market. High email volume: Hundreds of customer emails arrived each week across multiple inboxes.

The challenge

Scattered inboxes

Customer messages arrived to several staff mailboxes.

Repeated forwarding

The same request moved between people without clear ownership.

Slow response

Customers could wait days for an answer.

Unclear workloads

Support staff needed to know exactly which requests they owned.

The implementation

Queue ownership

MyQueue gave each team member a focused view of assigned work.

Smart automation

Smart Rules handled repeatable routing and background actions.

Simple adoption

The support team found the interface approachable and easy to learn.

Central conversations

Customer email became part of one coordinated support workflow.

Results and benefits.

Hours instead of days

Response time fell from five days to a couple of hours.

Fewer complaints

Complaint volume dropped as the team responded more effectively.

Time returned to staff

Automation saved hours of repetitive support work.

Happier customers

Faster answers improved the overall customer experience.

Stronger staff participation

Clearer ownership and automated queues helped staff participate more effectively and focus on customer needs.

“Without the smart rules, my job would have been a lot more difficult. I have 30-40 smart rules that sit there in the background doing what I asked them to do!”
