Interflora turned to Content Guru’s storm solution, which allowed the company to route all interactions through the correct lines, eliminate wait times, and improve efficiency. The storm solution also allowed Interflora to gain a fully transparent insight into customer traffic and capacity with real-time and historical reporting.

Talkdesk and Hunter Douglas
A leader in CCaaS solutions and customer engagement, Talkdesk recently worked with intelligent window fashions brand, Hunter Douglas, to improve its CX initiatives. Though Hunter Douglas had already been utilising several tools for customer service before their interaction with Talkdesk, the company noted its previous solution lacked the sufficient insights and reporting required to help them make intelligent business decisions.
A desire to constantly innovate and deliver custom-made solutions for customers prompted the Hunter Douglas team to search for a CX solution that would allow for these all-important analytics. The Talkdesk solution, capable of integrating seamlessly with the company’s existing technology, stood out as the perfect solution.
Genesys and Banzai
Serving an average of around 18 million customers every month, Banzai is a company with a massive impact in both the e-commerce and retail market. According to the brand, much of the success of their sales team comes from the decision to run their e-commerce sites on the Genesys Customer Experience platform. The solution allows the company to optimise processes and offer customers better service across the digital landscape.
Banzai’s partnership with Genesys means the company can now empower agents to manage customer conversations seamlessly across multiple channels, from a single desktop application. This convenient combined environment also paves the way for more intuitive insights, reports, and analytics.
Freshdesk and PosterGully
A company committed to selling high-quality posters and art pieces online, PosterGully believes in the importance of delivering exceptional customer service to keep orders rolling in. After trying a number of products for managing customer orders and conversations, Bharat Sethi, the CEO and Founder of the company discovered Freshdesk. He said the service was simple, easy to use, and intuitive – perfect for his growing business.
From the customer side, PosterGully says that the portal and software for Freshdesk are practically impossible. However, on the back end, the solution means it’s easier for the team to keep track of important information about customer tickets and requests. The service even makes it seem like customers are speaking directly to Bharat.

With Oracle’s retail and finance solutions, the Bed, Bath and Beyond brand was able to improve its ability to predict and meet inventory demand, better serving customers in the process.
The homeware brand was even able to launch a number of different initiatives during 2020, including Buy-Online-Pick-Up-In-Store and curbside pickup offerings. This strategy has helped drive significant sales growth across all categories for the organization.
Zendesk, Skinnydip, and Cult Beauty
For both Skinnydip and Cult Beauty, customer experience is at the heart of every positive decision-making strategy. The companies sell to more than 2 million customers annually, making life extremely busy for the customer service team, which only consists of around 40 people. As the last couple of years led to many challenges for Cult Beaty and Skinnydip, they had to offer customers a broader range of contact options.
Thanks to the Zendesk Help Centre and Help widget feature, Skinnydip and Cult Beauty were able to drive better experiences for customers by allowing for a more consistent and streamlined digital service experience.
