The challenge

National Retail Corporation's legacy contact center struggled with 12-minute average hold times during peak seasons, 35% call abandonment rates, and inconsistent customer experiences across channels. The company needed to modernize while managing seasonal demand spikes of 400% during holidays.

The AI capabilities have been game-changing for our seasonal peaks. We handle Black Friday volumes with the same service quality as a quiet Tuesday in February. Rubber Duck Technology helped us find partners who understood retail's unique demands.
