The Challenge:
In the pivotal year of 2020, as Ordered Magic embarked on expanding its operations to the U.S., founder Toby encountered a significant challenge. While managing four distinct applications with varied customer needs and traffic, Toby found himself entangled in the day-to-day intricacies of customer support. The demand for assistance, particularly for apps with the highest customer volumes, necessitated support coverage seven days a week, leaving Toby stretched thin and compromising his work-life balance.
With aspirations of a comprehensive solution, Toby sought to address not only the immediate need for customer support but also the broader operational challenges. Hiring full-time employees posed a managerial burden, and finding the right team with the correct culture seemed elusive. In a candid and raw conversation with xFusion’s co-founder, Jim Coleman, Toby articulated the struggles with support quality, customer connection, and the challenge of maintaining the right team culture. Toby’s vision for customer support went beyond mere satisfaction—it involved understanding and solving customers’ problems effectively.
xFusion emerged as the solution to Toby’s multifaceted challenge. Beyond handling customer support, xFusion offered a comprehensive suite of services, including concierge onboarding, documentation, and helpdesk efficiency improvements. Crucially, xFusion provided Toby with the scalability required for Ordered Magic’s ambitious growth plans, liberating him from the operational complexities of managing an in-house support team.
In entrusting xFusion with customer support responsibilities, Toby envisioned a strategic shift for Ordered Magic. This shift allowed him to redirect his focus toward technical development and strategic growth. By leveraging xFusion’s expertise in customer interaction management, training, and support, Toby could concentrate on enhancing Ordered Magic apps, exploring new ideas, and achieving a healthier work-life balance. The partnership with xFusion represented more than a solution to operational challenges—it marked the transformation of Toby’s role from a reactive support provider to a proactive developer, driving innovation and propelling the company’s growth.
The Solution:
xFusion devised a tailored and holistic strategy to elevate customer support and operational efficiency. At the core of the solution was the deployment of a dedicated full-time team member proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Shopify Liquid Code. This expert not only handled tier-1 and tier-2 technical support issues but also played a pivotal role in managing escalations, ensuring prompt bug reporting directly to Toby for resolution. This streamlined customer service processes, fostering a more responsive and effective support system.
To amplify Ordered Magic’s visibility and reputation, xFusion implemented an innovative approach to garnering reviews, adhering to Shopify’s terms of service. This strategic initiative yielded a substantial increase in 5-star reviews on the Shopify app store, bolstering the company’s standing and instilling trust among potential customers.
Furthermore, xFusion took an active role in collecting and organizing customer feedback, providing valuable insights to Toby and the team. This collaborative effort empowers Toby to make informed decisions for future app enhancements, ensuring that Ordered Magic stays at the forefront of customer expectations and technological advancements. With xFusion managing customer support and feedback, Toby can concentrate on developing new features, fostering innovation, and maintaining a balance between technical advancements and feature development.
In essence, the partnership with xFusion has not only elevated the standards of customer service for Ordered Magic but has also facilitated the company’s journey toward technical excellence and sustained growth.
