Case Study: Costa Coffee improves customer service with RingCentral Contact Center

Costa Coffee cuts technical support calls by 40% with RingCentral

Costa Coffee, the UK's favourite coffee shop brand, faced the challenge of running a dedicated contact center for its Costa Express self-serve machines. Their pre-pandemic, on-premise phone system lacked mobility, preventing agents from working remotely. To address this, the company implemented RingCentral Contact Center to trial a more flexible, cloud-based customer support solution.

RingCentral provided a comprehensive solution that enabled immediate remote work for all agents, a transition that proved vital during the pandemic lockdowns. The solution's skills-based routing and IVR customization improved call handling efficiency and the customer experience, cutting specific informational calls to live agents by 40%. RingCentral's granular reporting also allowed for optimized shift scheduling. The vendor's platform gave the team full visibility into operations, fostering confidence to innovate and roll out new customer features remotely.
