About the Client
About the Client The client is a growing online store in the United Kingdom that sells home and lifestyle products. They have a loyal customer base and a small support team that always tries to keep things personal. But growth changed the pace. The same few people were now handling hundreds of questions a day, delivery updates, order changes, and payment confirmations, all mixed.
Most of the work was happening manually. Tickets came from different channels, and information lived in too many places. It was easy to lose time on routine steps. They were already using Zoho Desk and wanted something simple that could tie everything together, reduce clicks, and help them reply faster without losing the friendly tone customers like. This is where Zoho Desk integration services came to their rescue by linking Zoho Desk with Zoho Flow.
The Challenge
The team was good at solving problems, but it was buried under repetitive steps that slowed everything else down.
Scattered Information
Agents had to jump between the order system, email, and chat history to answer even simple questions.
Manual, Repeated Tasks
Creating follow-ups, assigning tickets, and updating order notes all required separate clicks.
Delayed Responses
When volume spiked, first replies were delayed, and customers noticed.
Strategic Design & Development Approach
We aimed for practical automation, connecting the systems, reducing clicks, and making sure agents stayed focused on the customer instead of the process. We tailored Zoho Flow automation to achieve this.
Phase 1
Process Review & Mapping
We shadowed agents, noted routine steps, and marked where time was lost to manual updates.
- Review of live support sessions
- Mapping of cross-tool dependencies
- Identification of automation triggers
Phase 2
Zoho Flow Integration
Flows were built to move data automatically so that Desk tickets stayed complete and up-to-date
- Auto ticket creation from web forms and emails
- Automatic ticket routing based on topic or order status
- Instant sync of shipment updates and payment notes
Phase 3
Training & Controlled Rollout
While leveraging customer support automation by using Zoho, we introduced changes gradually with quick feedback rounds, ensuring that the setup matched how support teams actually work.
- Step-by-step rollout by team
- Real-world testing before full deployment
- Refinement based on agent feedback
Results & Impact
Our custom Zoho Desk implementation, coupled with Zoho Flow automation, made a considerable impact on the company. The difference showed quickly. Agents stopped chasing data, customers got faster replies, and daily support felt lighter. Routine tasks ran quietly in the background while the team handled more tickets without adding new staff.
