Cosmetics brand boosts FCR 17% & CSAT 4% with loyalty strategy
A cosmetics retailer, in collaboration with Pentafon, redesigned its digital service by incorporating channels like WhatsApp, automation for frequent inquiries, and a resolution-based rewards program.
This strategy led to a 17% improvement in First Contact Resolution (FCR), a 4% increase in CSAT, and a 5% reduction in complaint rates. The initiative was recognized with the 2025 IMT National CX & EX Award.
