About the Client - An Indonesian technology company specializing in e-commerce with the most visited local e-commerce website in Indonesia attracting 25% of the total market share.
Business Challenges - The client was facing a massive operational crisis impacting their business and customer experience. It resulted in negative perceptions and feedback on their brand across social media channels.
The following reasons caused the negative sentiment:

Business Need - The organization needed urgent attention to stabilize its operations and focus on achieving the following:
- Reduce backlog

- Meet and exceed KPI targets
To drive these objectives, the bottlenecks were identified and worked towards eliminating the snags:

Elimination of data processing backlogs: The lack of SOP’s, poor governance, and low productivity resulted in massive pendency of cases across all lines of businesses (LOBs). It was imperative to control the backlogs without adding further to the operational expenses and ensure smooth sales operations.
Stringent monitoring & reporting: It was crucial to establish a robust monitoring & reporting framework that can continuously assess SLA adherence and deliver the desired level of visibility to drive informed decisions.
