Getting started with Influx: 

After experiencing serious growth in 2019, CASELY came to Influx to build upon the momentum. They were looking to relieve some pressure from their 5-person internal team by expanding their support coverage to offer 24/7 customer support with reinforcements at peak sales seasons.

Influx built a 24/7 fully-scalable extension of CASELY’s existing support team with 4 full-time agents and 2 part-time agents, adding an extra layer of support CASELY’s internal team. Influx was able to help with the seasonal backlog, resulting in a reduction of first response time by 10x in the first month of service. Since the partnership began, CASELY’s product review score has improved from 3.3 to 4.8 stars.

Today, nearly 4 years into the partnership, 6 full-time and 2 part-time Influx agents answer 18,000+ tickets per month via email and social media.

What they’re saying about Influx: 

“My first year at CASELY was tough. We had just experienced a seriously high-growth holiday season and were finding it a challenge to respond to customers fast enough. Partnering with Influx has been a game changer! Within our first month, we were able to reduce our response time from ~10hrs. to 1hr.

CASELY has grown 16,594% over the last 3 years – and having that extra layer of support has been instrumental in bringing our CX to the next level. We are so happy to have Influx as part of our support team. We wouldn’t be here without them!”
