Executive summary

Rogers Communications Inc. is a Canada-based telecommunications company that has evolved along with changing technology since their inception nearly 60 years ago. Rogers onboarded Khoros Care to empower their customer engagement team and to access valuable insights through analytics and reporting. They decided to take their customer care goals even further and overhaul their customer experience by offering support 24/7 on social media. They would work toward delivering an outstanding customer experience through the integration of Facebook Messenger. To accomplish their goals, Rogers leveraged Khoros Care to support their first-on-the-market launch of customer support via Facebook Messenger.

Before Rogers onboarded Khoros Care, they were looking for a way to help their growing team keep up with the demand for customer support. They needed an intuitive tool that team members could seamlessly onboard. With Khoros Care, team members could self-train and be online with the platform in a matter of hours, streamlining the scaling of Rogers’ support staff. Rogers had already partnered with Khoros to develop their Khoros-powered community, so they knew that once their team members were trained with Khoros Care, working within the platform would be easy and the support offered by Khoros would be thorough. Furthermore, Rogers has employees in three different regions in Canada — teams that never meet in person and who work 24/7. Khoros streamlines operations and supports high-level performance from all team members, no matter their location. With Khoros Care, Rogers was able to launch Facebook Messenger as an around-the-clock means of customer support. Before Messenger, every communication for the care team was filtered through one queue, but with Messenger supported by Khoros Care, the Rogers care team can now easily prioritize customer communications into relevant queues for faster, better service.

Rogers launched customer support through Facebook Messenger because they wanted to bring their customers the best service in the world. Customers can now reach them through Facebook Messenger to ask questions, make changes to their accounts, and more. Rogers’ social care agents manage all of those communications through Khoros Care. Not only are their customers receiving quicker service — they reduced response time from 45 minutes to under 15 minutes across all social channels — overall, customers are more satisfied.

“Our goal was to deliver a better experience for our customers, and we saw a substantial increase in social media customer satisfaction following the launch of Facebook Messenger, supported by Khoros Care.”
