As in any organization, Nestle needed to balance this requirement with the cost of providing great support and chose to partner with RightAnswers by Upland.
Learn how the world’s largest food and beverage company reduced the demand on their IT customer support teams and improved the end user experience with RightAnswers.
The Challenge
Nestlé needed to support thousands of IT users in the UK and Ireland, with continuously high inbound support volume and a critical need to improve customer experience. The organization aimed to shift away from traditional ticket-based support by streamlining self-service capabilities, anticipating demand, and reducing pressure on IT teams. Key priorities included minimizing incident creation, maximizing self-service usage, and ensuring users received fast, accurate information
The Solution
Nestlé deployed RightAnswers, a robust knowledge management platform, pairing custom portals and admin tools with deep ticketing integration. Working closely with the RightAnswers team, Nestlé conducted a health check and undertook KCS™ (Knowledge Centered Service) training to establish best practice processes. The upgraded solution included branded experiences, live service status updates, digital access tools, and ongoing reviews, ultimately delivering a tailored, scalable self-service environment for both end users and agents.
The Results
Nestlé’s revamped approach delivered real results:
-
Over 5,000 users access enhanced self-service each month, easily finding answers and raising new requests independently.
-
80% of IT incident tickets are now resolved at first level, eliminating the need for traditional desk calls for most users.
-
Effective demand prevention through proactive content and intuitive portals resulted in significant cost savings and higher end-user satisfaction.
-
Continuous improvement is fueled by virtual KCS community engagement, regular expert reviews, and integration of industry-leading knowledge article libraries.
