Study Found Significant Amount of Tickets Could be Resolved Through Self-Service

Phonism's analysis of 200k support tickets over six months revealed that 95% could be resolved through self-service, highlighting significant opportunities for efficiency improvements and cost reduction.

The Challenge

Typically, resolving a support ticket can take 24-72 hours, with agents managing 20-30 cases daily. A large Service Provider needed to understand their support ticket patterns to improve efficiency and reduce resolution times.

Solution

Phonism partnered with a large Service Provider and conducted an in-depth analysis of their device support tickets. Over six months, approximately 200,000 tickets were meticulously reviewed to uncover actionable insights and identify opportunities for self-service solutions.
