How Silverpoint Technologies Scaled Customer Support 85% More Efficiently

Client Overview

Silverpoint Technologies is a leading consumer electronics company specializing in high-tech home cleaning products, including advanced robot vacuums and smart cleaning solutions. The company serves major retail partners including Walmart, Target, and TJ Maxx, and has experienced significant growth as demand for automated home cleaning technology continues to surge.

The Challenge

Silverpoint's success was creating a new challenge: sales growth was driving exponentially increasing customer support volume. Their seven full-time customer service representatives were struggling to keep pace with the influx of inquiries from customers seeking help with their sophisticated cleaning technology and mobile app.

The company's legacy in-house CRM system, built for a smaller operation, couldn't scale with their expanding customer base. Without deep automation capabilities, every support request required manual handling, creating bottlenecks and longer response times.

Silverpoint faced a critical decision: significantly expand their support team to match growing demand—an expensive proposition that would impact margins—or find a more scalable solution. With major retail partners depending on exceptional customer experiences and complex products requiring detailed technical support, maintaining service quality while managing costs was essential for sustaining their growth trajectory.

The Solution

We implemented Claire, an AI-powered customer support Agent specifically trained on Silverpoint's extensive product ecosystem and support history. The comprehensive solution included:

• Deep Product Knowledge: Claire was trained on hundreds of thousands of historical support messages, plus detailed technical documentation for Silverpoint's sophisticated cleaning products, enabling her to handle complex troubleshooting scenarios.

  
  

• 1400+ Manuals: Using an AI pipeline, we generated over 1,400 detailed user manuals covering each SKU and historical support scenario, ensuring Claire could provide precise, product-specific guidance for robot vacuums and other high-tech cleaning devices.

  
  

• End to End Migration: Silverpoint was migrated from their legacy system to Zendesk, providing the scalable foundation needed to support their growing customer base.

  
  

• Humanlike Integration: Claire was seamlessly integrated into Zendesk with advanced collaboration capabilities, including smart handoff to human agents for complex technical issues requiring specialized expertise.

  
  

• Multi-Channel Communication: The solution supports both email and SMS, making it easy for customers to get help with their cleaning technology however they prefer to communicate.

The entire transformation was completed in under three months, ensuring Silverpoint could continue serving their expanding customer base without disruption.

The Results

The implementation delivered exceptional efficiency gains that matched Silverpoint's growth ambitions:

• 85% more efficient operations: Reduced from seven full-time representatives to just one while handling increased volume

  
  

• 50% automated resolution rate: Claire independently resolves nearly half of all support tickets, including complex product troubleshooting

  
  

• 24/7 availability: Customers receive round-the-clock support for their high-tech cleaning products

  
  

• 100% first-response coverage: Claire handles initial customer contact for all inquiries, ensuring immediate assistance

This scaling solution enabled Silverpoint to maintain exceptional customer experiences while supporting continued business growth without proportional increases in support costs.

Looking Forward

We recently delivered advanced Knowledge Base management capabilities, allowing Silverpoint to independently update Claire's knowledge as they launch new cleaning products and features. This ensures their AI support scales seamlessly with product innovation.

Conclusion

Silverpoint Technologies successfully solved the scaling challenge that accompanies rapid growth. Rather than expanding their support team linearly with increasing sales, they implemented an intelligent solution that delivers superior customer experiences at a fraction of the cost.

The ability to handle growing support volume with 85% greater efficiency while maintaining 24/7 availability demonstrates how strategic AI implementation can turn operational scaling challenges into competitive advantages.
