Overview
An e-commerce marketplace was experiencing significant customer service strain as customers faced delays in accessing order status and managing returns, manual processes slowed resolution and created inconsistency, and support teams were overwhelmed by repetitive tickets. The absence of an automated, self-service customer service channel was driving high ticket volumes and low first-contact resolution rates.
To resolve these challenges, Halsa implemented Agentforce to enable real-time order tracking and refunds, automated ticket creation and resolution workflows, and an improved conversational customer experience built on Agentforce and Conversational AI, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Apex, Flows, and Prompt Templates, delivering a 45% reduction in ticket volumes and a 50% increase in first-contact resolution.
The Challenge
The e-commerce marketplace faced three interconnected challenges affecting customer service quality and support operations:
- Customers Faced Delays in Order Status and Returns
Customers could not access real-time order status or initiate returns through a self-service channel, creating delays in resolving routine queries. This lack of access drove customers to contact support teams for information that should have been available independently. - Manual Processes Slowed Resolution and Created Inconsistency
Customer service workflows, including ticket creation and resolution, were handled manually, introducing delays and inconsistency. This made resolution times unpredictable and reduced service reliability. - Support Teams Were Overwhelmed by Repetitive Tickets
High volumes of routine tickets related to order status and returns overwhelmed support teams, consuming capacity that could have been used for more complex issues.
Our Solution
Halsa implemented Agentforce to enable real-time order tracking and refunds, automate ticket workflows, and provide a conversational customer interface. The solution introduced an automated customer service layer to handle high-volume queries while improving speed and consistency.
- Agentforce for Real-Time Order Tracking and Refunds
Agentforce provided customers with a conversational interface to access real-time order tracking and initiate refunds. This enabled immediate self-service access to order and return information, reducing delays and lowering repetitive ticket volume. - Automated Ticket Creation and Resolution Workflows
Ticket workflows were automated using Agentforce, Flows, and Apex, replacing manual processes. This ensured consistent handling, faster resolution, and reduced dependency on manual intervention. - Conversational Customer Experience
The conversational interface enabled customers to interact naturally for order tracking, returns, and support needs, making the experience more accessible, immediate, and consistent. - Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Apex, Flows, and Prompt Templates
The solution leveraged these technologies to support data integration, automation, orchestration, and AI-driven interactions across customer service operations.

The solution delivered two measurable outcomes:
- 45% Reduction in Ticket Volumes
Self-service access to order tracking and refunds reduced the volume of repetitive tickets by 45%. - 50% Increase in First-Contact Resolution
