Telecommunications

Our client is a leading provider of wireless communications and devices in the US

With consumers facing few barriers to switching wireless carriers, our client focused on delivering differentiated experiences that provided convenience and flexibility. To this end, it designed an online scheduling tool that allowed customers to skip the line by booking in-store appointments in advance. However, the tool offered a less-than-optimal user experience, frustrating customers. Our client tapped Infogain to reimagine the tool’s user experience according to key service design principles, thus improving the customer experience and enabling store staff to better serve their clients.

Action

Recognizing the paradigm shift from omnichannel to ubiquity, we combined online and offline behaviors into an integrated journey that transcended channels. To understand how experiences made people feel, we pursued an empathy-driven discovery process that defined the unique context for each customer persona and uncovered critical experience gaps in their respective journeys.

Our team delivered a holistic service blueprint that harmonized the experience across all touchpoints, enabling transparency between front- and back-stage interactions to maximize value.
