Case Study: Remote Customer Service Agents

Fast, helpful customer service is key in hospitality and automotive industries. When support teams fall behind, guest satisfaction drops, and bookings suffer. This case study shows how Zedtreeo helped two businesses — one in travel, the other in transportation — scale operations with remote customer service agents. As a result, both companies improved response speed, reduced costs, and boosted customer satisfaction.

Client Profile

Zedtreeo partnered with:
  • A hotel and travel brand serving international tourists
  • An automotive service network offering repairs and rentals
 
Both clients faced volume spikes, limited availability across time zones, and high staffing costs.

Challenges Faced

High Call and Email Volumes

Guests and customers waited too long for basic questions, booking help, or service scheduling.

Limited Time Zone Coverage

Their internal teams couldn’t keep up with 7-day or early-morning service demands.

Increased Support Costs

Hiring locally wasn’t scalable, especially for simple queries or repeat tasks.

Booking and Scheduling Errors

Manual processes led to lost reservations, duplicate service appointments, and customer complaints.

Solution Implemented

Zedtreeo deployed remote customer service agents with experience in hospitality and automotive support. These agents were trained in CRM systems, calendar tools, and reservation platforms. In addition:
  • They handled live chat, calls, and email inquiries.
  • Work shifts were adjusted to cover key time zones.
  • Templates and checklists ensured accuracy and consistency.
  • Zedtreeo assigned an account manager to oversee daily workflows.
 
This setup allowed the client to stay focused on service delivery while Zedtreeo managed the team.

Results and Benefits

  • Wait times dropped by 45%, improving guest satisfaction.
  • As a result, support costs were reduced by 85%.
  • In addition, booking accuracy improved by 35%.
  • This allowed staff to focus on high-value tasks.

This allowed both businesses to scale support smoothly, even during seasonal spikes.
