The challenge
Order status, returns, refund status, exchange, loyalty and warranty made up 68% of contact volume. The IVR shed customers, and agents copy-pasted policy text on every case.
Our approach
Intent-bounded agents
One agent per top-6 intent — bounded scope, clean escalation to a human on anything else.
Policy as code
Return, refund and exchange rules codified as decision policies the agent consulted — no policy improvisation.
Commerce Cloud writeback
Returns and exchanges created directly in Commerce Cloud with the right RMA, right label and right refund path — no callback.
Voice and chat parity
Same policies, same tone, same outcomes across voice and chat — the customer picked the surface.
Agent handoff with context
Escalations landed with the full intent trail and proposed resolution — agents confirmed instead of restarted.
