Telco company

2024

Designed an onboarding flow that slashed "where is my order" calls

At the telco company I worked for, new internet customers received little communication between purchase and installation, causing high support call volumes. This case study focuses on redesigning onboarding to reduce customer friction and support demand through clearer, timely updates.

Problem area

Addressing lack of transparent order updates

New broadband and TV customers frequently contacted customer support due to a lack of proactive updates on their service activation, resulting in an average of 3.1 calls per order.

To reduce this to one call or fewer, I designed and integrated a clear, accessible Order Status Tracking flow within the customer journey. This solution delivered timely, transparent updates on order progress and installation, empowering customers to self-serve and lowering support demand by 80% while enhancing overall customer experience.

Problem 1

Customers experienced a frustrating 48-hour delay before receiving order confirmation, followed by no shipment tracking information. This lack of proactive communication caused confusion, anxiety, and increased support calls.
