The challenges

A Costly Bottleneck in Support

As sales grew, so did the volume of customer queries, ranging from installation help to warranty issues. Their team handled over 1,500 support requests per week, mostly via email and phone. Wait times stretched, first-response SLA was consistently missed, and customer satisfaction scores dipped. The company was also losing cross-sell opportunities due to lack of follow-up.

Scaling with more agents wasn’t sustainable. They needed a way to handle growing support demand.

The solution

Agentforce to the Rescue

To address the growing support demand, Redtag introduced a tailored, multi-layered solution built around Agentforce — an AI-powered chatbot designed for Salesforce. Integrated with Salesforce Service Cloud and RCA, the setup connected customer support with product, pricing, and order data for a seamless service experience.

Key features implemented:

  • AI-powered self-service – Agentforce handled routine queries like user manuals, installation guides, delivery tracking, and warranty checks.
  • Smart ticket routing – Complex cases were auto-tagged and routed to specialized teams using Service Cloud workflows.

  • Automated quote generation – RCA was connected to service cases, enabling support agents to create upgrade offers and extended warranties on the fly.

  • Knowledge article delivery – Agentforce pushed real-time solutions based on KCS articles, reducing reliance on human agents.
The RESULT

The Results: Scalable, Predictable, and Fast

It didn’t take long – by month three, the impact was visible across the board:

  • 40% reduction in support costs – Thanks to lower ticket volumes and fewer agent hours.

  • 90%+ first-contact resolution for routine queries – Via Agentforce, with a satisfaction score of 4.8/5.

  • 3X increase in upsells during support conversations – With automated quotes and bundled offers.

  • 50% faster onboarding for new agents – Thanks to unified service data and automated workflows.

Today, the company delivers faster support, happier customers, and more efficient operations across Europe with a leaner, smarter support team and AI that truly understands their products.
