Knowledge Home started as part of Universal CRM. While designing other applications and from conversations with our agents during that time I realized that the current way of accessing information left a lot to be desired. At that point of time you had to log in to a system and type out what word document you were looking for and read through the whole thing to find a small snippet of information. The layout of the information was not organized. As our system and company was growing I realized this would be a massive bottleneck for us. With this in mind, I led the call to redesign the existing knowledge base and make it more accessible, easy to navigate and clear/concise.

Even though I had a general idea of what the initial pain points were for the agents, I felt the need to get more in depth into this problem. 

  1. Job shadowing : Observed the  call center agents as they performed their work.

  2. Workshops: Conducted workshops with call center agents to gather their input and feedback on the types of information and resources that would be most helpful for them to have access to. 

  3. Usability testing: Tested the usability of the web-app knowledge home with call center agents.

  4. Customer feedback: Gathered feedback from customers who have interacted with call center agents This helped identify areas where call center agents may need additional training or support.

  5. Data analysis: Collected and analyzed call center data, such as call logs and customer feedback, to identify trends and patterns in the types of questions and issues that rose  most frequently, and the types of information that call center agents needed to have readily available to assist customers more effectively.

Insights & Analysis

Insights & Analysis

  1. Difficulty finding information: This leads to longer call times, lower customer satisfaction, and higher agent frustration.

  2. Outdated information: With an old knowledge base system, there is a risk that some of the information may be outdated or inaccurate. There might be multiple versions of the same process.

  3. Limited functionality: The lack of functionality may make it more difficult to maintain and update the knowledge base, which can contribute to the problem of outdated information.

  4. Lack of training and support: With an outdated system, it becomes very hard and expensive to train new staff. This can lead to inconsistencies in the information provided to customers, as well as frustration and low morale among agents.

  5. Inefficient workflow: The old knowledge base system does not integrate well with other tools, which makes it difficult provide seamless service to customers. Additionally, the time required to search for information within the knowledge base adds unnecessary time to call handling, which can lead to lower efficiency and productivity.
