Description

Integrated 8x8 contact center with internal data warehouse to pre-fill customer info, reducing average call handling time.

The Challenge

Agents were spending ~15 seconds on every call just retrieving basic caller information from internal systems, causing longer hold times and poor customer experience.

What I Did

Built a lightweight API service that fetched customer context from the warehouse and sent it to 8x8 before the call connected.

The Impact

Reduced Average Handling Time (AHT) by 12 seconds per call. With thousands of monthly support calls, this translated into measurable cost savings and improved CSAT scores.

What I Learned

Solving seemingly small operational inefficiencies at scale leads to disproportionate business value.
