Customer support organizations in retail and e-commerce management face mounting pressure to deliver swift, high-quality assistance—yet legacy workflows often lead to ticket backlogs and knowledge gaps. This case study reveals how agentic AI from Scoop went beyond legacy dashboards, parsing complex support interactions at scale to spotlight process bottlenecks and engagement drivers. As the sector expands its digital footprint, these learnings illustrate why unlocking the hidden patterns in everyday support data is essential for operational agility and customer satisfaction.

Results + Metrics

Scoop’s automated analysis revealed clear opportunities for operational improvement and illuminated hidden dynamics driving support efficiency. By quantifying drivers of complexity, engagement, and resolution, support teams could prioritize their energy for maximum impact and redesign workflows for greater scalability. Rather than sifting through thousands of static records or generalized graphics, leadership now benefits from targeted, numeric benchmarks to drive resource allocation and process optimization.

77

Routine Requests as % of Total Tickets

Over three-quarters of all tickets are classified as Simple or Standard, indicating high potential for automation or lighter-touch support interventions.

96.4

Open or Unresolved Tickets (%)

Under one-fifth of all support tickets show customer responses, highlighting a one-directional support process and the need for improved customer engagement strategies.

17.4

Customer Response Rate (%)

Under one-fifth of all support tickets show customer responses, highlighting a one-directional support process and the need for improved customer engagement strategies.

46.2

Report Module Ticket Share (%)

Nearly half of all requests map to the Reports module—of which 82% are Simple complexity—pointing to documentation or training gaps as a primary support driver.

12.5

Quick Requests as % of Total

Expedited or quick requests form an appreciable portion of tickets, but analysis found they do not meaningfully improve overall closure rates.

Industry Overview + Problem

In customer support environments for retail and e-commerce management platforms, operations teams are inundated with routine tickets—often tied to core modules like reporting and invoicing. Despite most customer inquiries being relatively simple, organizations struggle with fragmented data, low customer engagement, and persistent ticket backlogs. Traditional business intelligence tools fail to distinguish between high- and low-touch requests or to identify which workflow changes would yield real improvements. Key concerns include mounting open tickets (over 96% unresolved), low rates of customer response (under 18%), inefficiencies in expedited request handling, and recurring pain points in modules such as reports, invoicing, and digital certification. These systemic challenges lead to unresolved customer queries, operational strain, and missed opportunities for automation and self-service.

Solution: How Scoop Helped

Automated Dataset Scanning & Metadata Inference: Instantly profiled all ticket records, categorizing fields for optimal downstream processing. This enabled rapid detection of key dimensions like request type, system module, and complexity without manual mapping.

  • Feature Enrichment & Semantic Signal Extraction: Used natural language processing to derive predictive keywords from ticket titles and descriptions. This revealed module associations and patterns invisible to standard attribute-based analytics, saving analysts days of manual text mining.
  • End-to-End KPI and Slide Generation: Automated generation of high-impact KPIs and visualizations (e.g., complexity breakdowns, module-driven closure rates, engagement metrics), eliminating the need for human-driven dashboarding and surfacing critical trends at a glance.
  • Agentic ML Modeling: Trained decision-tree and associative models to surface what drives ticket complexity, closure, and customer engagement. This unlocked causal insights—such as which content cues trigger higher resolution likelihood and how interaction length can predict customer responsiveness.
  • Interactive Pattern Discovery: Guided support leaders beyond static reporting by revealing where self-service could most reduce volume and which process tweaks (e.g., long-form descriptions, targeted knowledge bases) would maximize impactful interactions.
  • Narrative Synthesis for Executives: Automatically translated complex data findings into actionable executive summaries and business-focused recommendations, making technical discoveries accessible to all stakeholders with minimal manual interpretation.

Deeper Dive: Patterns Uncovered

Scoop’s machine learning pipeline surfaced several non-intuitive trends that static dashboards would have overlooked. The analysis correlated specific ticket keywords to module associations with up to 94% accuracy—demonstrating, for example, that 'Invoice' or 'Report' in the title or description almost always signify their respective modules, streamlining auto-classification for incoming requests and enabling proactive knowledge base suggestions. Yet, tickets marked with generic or ambiguous keywords reverted to Reports by default, introducing the risk of misrouting and highlighting an opportunity for smarter triage algorithms.

The AI identified that longer, more detailed customer descriptions measurably boost both the likelihood of customer response and successful closure, particularly for higher-value categories like report analysis and POS pre-sales. However, purely technical domains—such as digital certification or tax rule configurations—showed chronically low customer participation regardless of description length. This suggests nuanced drivers behind user engagement: in some areas, improved onboarding or clearer prompts could lift interaction, while others may simply require more self-serve or automated pathways.

Furthermore, overly expedited classification ('quick requests') inconsistently improved closure rates—working well for straightforward inventory tasks, but not for complex categories like postal management or error handling. These subtleties, only visible through pattern-driven AI, suggest differentiated strategies are required per module and request archetype.

Outcomes & Next Steps

The findings informed immediate actions: development teams prioritized enhanced training materials and onboarding for the Reports and Invoicing modules, targeting the 78% of tickets identified as routine. Workflow automation rules—supported by Scoop’s predictive keyword models—have begun routing requests directly to specialized resources where needed, and flagging technical categories for hands-on staff. User guidance was restructured to encourage richer descriptions at ticket creation, boosting both customer participation and closure rates in key areas.

For the future, the support team is integrating Scoop’s pattern detection models into their real-time ticketing pipeline to power smarter triage and self-service recommendations. Regular dataset reviews using Scoop’s automated agentic AI are planned to track improvements, close remaining engagement gaps, and refine interventions as support demands evolve.
