The need

JS Group boasts an impressive portfolio of six eCommerce fashion brands, each with a loyal following, creating a unique situation for their customer support.

With a small internal team, JS Group struggled to manage the growing ticket volume and needed to expand coverage to include weekend support. After one agent left, JS Group needed a reliable solution to ensure consistent support and handle peak demands, especially during high-traffic periods.

1. Weekend customer support

JS Group recognized the need for consistent support every day of the week. Expanding to weekend coverage became essential to handle demand and maintain a high-quality experience across their six brands.

2. Scalability for peak season

Scalability was an important factor in ensuring customers received support during Q4. JS Group needed a reliable customer service solution, especially during sales events and the high-demand period from November to early January.

3. Brand-specific representation

Since JS Group manages multiple eCommerce brands, agents needed to respond as the correct brand in each interaction, ensuring seamless brand consistency across customer communications.

4. Efficient ticket management

With a high ticket volume and limited staff, JS Group needed to ensure quick response times and effective ticket resolution to maintain customer satisfaction.

In June 2022, JS Group came to Influx for help.

Since partnering with Influx, our team has been able to handle the increasing demand across our six brands with ease. The dedicated agents truly understand the unique needs of each brand, and their support has been crucial, especially during peak seasons. Influx has become a true extension of our team, and we can always count on them to deliver the level of service our customers expect.
