Background
The client is a renowned American automotive flagship brand, offering sales and after-sales services, social media management, and omnichannel solutions as part of their provided automotive digital services.
Low C-SAT scores, plus high Average Response Time and Turnaround Time (TAT), were negatively affecting the automaker’s CX before approaching RAYA Customer Experience (RAYA CX) for support. The client’s objectives were to continue boosting their growth rate, depending on a more customer-centric approach, create a more intuitive and friendly customer experience, and establish more insightful communication with their customer base.

The Challenges
There were many challenges, but the pandemic significantly impacted this client. First, RAYA CX had to exploit Egypt’s resilient infrastructure.
Although the pandemic took not only Egypt but also the whole world by surprise, the enormous investments made in developing the infrastructure in ICT, power, and energy infrastructure in Egypt have enabled the country to show remarkable resilience and adaptability. In 2019, the government invested billions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades, which supported the unexpected increase in demand caused by COVID-19. So, with the support of Egypt’s infrastructure upgrades, RAYA CX could focus on the other key challenges.
– Inadequate digital engagement
– Slow and long Average Response Time per inquiry
– Turnaround Time (TAT) exceeding 48 hours
The Solution
– Design a pleasant and efficient end-to-end customer journey across all channels
– Enriched the knowledge base by adding the updated process to facilitate the flow of information
– Deployed analytic tools to closely and continuously monitor our client’s position in the market
– Automated simple and repetitive inquiries across platforms
– Trained and qualified CX agents to provide service according to world-class standards
– Implemented the solution in 60 days
Implementation
RAYA CX has developed a comprehensive training program for the client’s customer service agents to upgrade their soft skills and enrich their product knowledge while undertaking proper site auditing. To build long-term relationships and create a 360-degree view of each customer, implementing the omnichannel strategy required changes on the client’s end.

The automaker adopted a more intensive training program created by RAYA CX, along with establishing a thorough knowledge base, easing the customer service agents’ accessibility to the needed information to guarantee the success of the new omnichannel strategy and to have the Average Response Time and the Average Handling Time under control.
The challenges were about how to orchestrate all the efforts to build the required infrastructure and create the needed knowledge base to be accessible for the team with its wealth of data within a tight timeline and tight budget.
RAYA CX expedited IT and infrastructure setup along with setting up and configuring the omnichannel platform from the website, social media channels, emails, customer support calls, chats, and online support.
RAYA CX certified the client’s CS Agents through its training program to be qualified to manage their multiple social media channels within the omnichannel platform. Also, RAYA CX deployed a Social Media Monitoring tool so that the 360-view of the customer experience becomes whole. RAYA CX also provided an adequate analysis of agent-customer interactions and communications on social media.
Finally, RAYA CX leveraged Automation tools so that the client can get real-time alerts and react swiftly and efficiently depending on the customers’ stage in the automotive customer journey.
The Results
– An enhanced experience by decreasing the Average Response Time from 24 hours to 30 minutes.
– Optimized Turn-Around Time (TAT), from 48 hours to 60 minutes.
– Use predictive market analytics to impact and alter sales directly.
